how to output every line in a file python

Question

     if data.find(\'!masters\') != -1:
         f = open(\'masters.txt\')
         lines = f.readline()
         for line in lines:
               print lines
               


        

Answer 1

You could try this. It doesn't read all of f into memory at once (using the file object's iterator) and it closes the file when the code leaves the with block.

if data.find('!masters') != -1:
    with open('masters.txt', 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            print line
            sck.send('PRIVMSG ' + chan + " " + line + '\r\n')

If you're using an older version of python (pre 2.6) you'll have to have

from __future__ import with_statement
