Questions: Why is the loop not repeating,
What makes you think so?
If you get an error(as I suspect) please post the entire error message.
I would expect a name error on the last line of the loop since there is
no variable fn defined.
I don't know what you think the seek() is doing, but (assuming
you meant fh) it will reset the file to the first line each time
so you never finish the loop.
and where should I insert a split to remove 'Sat Jan 5:09:14:16 2008'

Splitting on whitespace will ensure the bit you want is
in the second element
