Thank you for the suggestions.
Some little reading gave the idea and it works well too. :)
Here is the code:
fileIN = open("test.txt")
count = 0
for line in fileIN:
data= line
if '####' in data:
count = 4
elif '###' in data:
count = 3
elif '##' in data:
count = 2
elif '#' in data:
count = 1
elif data.find('#') == -1:
count = 0
if (count == 0):
print data + '\nlooks like a code line...\n'
elif(count== 4):
print data + '\ninvalid line!\n'
elif count>=1:
for i in range(0, count):
print data
Thanks,
R Abhinayaraj

You really should read the tutorial at http://docs.python.org/tut
(or any other introductory text; see http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide
for more references)
To open the interpreter, just type "python" (no quotes; <ENTER> to execute) on
the command prompt.
