Hi all!
I'm embarrassingly new at Python, so please forgive my probably simple mistakes.
So I called readlines() on a file, and I'm wondering how I can check the
equality of a specific line with a raw_input set variable as a condition. For
example,
file = open('filename.txt,' 'r')
file.readlines()
variable_name = raw_input()
if file[2] == variable_name:
#whatever
This approach hasn't worked so far, does anyone have any tips? Thanks so much!!

You haven't stripped the newline before doing the comparison. You also
don't have to read the whole file just to compare a specific line. I'll
leave you to find out how :)
