Re: [Tutor] new to python

The problem here is that you have doubled the "for line in f:" line. Given that you say you know some programming, I'll just cut to the technical name of the problem you are having: You are changing the value of a loop variable (by starting an inner loop with the same loop variable) inside a loop.
