Hey guys, I went with a combination of the above, though I tried several different solutions. Here's what I ended up with:
def loadItem(self, objectToLoad): wordList = [] fobj = open('/home/jason.conner/Documents/Python/objectconfig.txt', 'r') for line in fobj: if line == objectToLoad: wordList.append(line) for i in range(5): wordList.append(fobj.next()) Though it did take me a few minutes to figure out that I needed to include the \n in the objectToLoad variable to get it to work in its present form, it works great. Thanks for all your help!
