Well,
I was somewhat confused with all of the answers so I decided to go
with my/following method. Kent's method has 4 fewer lines of code
than mine and cleaner. Please correct me if I am fundamentally wrong.
f=open('file.txt',r)
for line in f.read().split():
if line == "3"
position = True
else:
position = False
if position == True
print line
position = False
f.close()
Yikes! That won't compile (missing : at end of if statements). After
correcting, will print 3.
How about this if you want less lines of code:
f = open('file.txt',r).readlines()
print f[[x+1 for x,line in enumerate(f) if line.rstrip() == "3"][0]]
