Python Parse lines of input file

Question

Im a recent graduate who has made some contacts and trying to help one with a project. This project will help evolve into something open source for people. So any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Im trying to parse out certain items in a file I have succeeded in parsing out the specific items. I now need to figure out how to attach all the remaining data to another variable in an organized way for example.

file=open("file.txt",'r') 
row = file.readlines()
for line in row:
 if line.find("Example") > -1:
 info = line.split()
 var1 = info[0]
 var2 = info[1]
 var3 = info[2]
 remaining_data = ????

^^^^^^^^^^is my sample code already doing 90% of what i need. I want to get the remaining_data to all go into that variable line by line for.

print remaining_data
output:remaining_data{
 line 1 of data
 line 2 of data
 line 3 of data
 line 4 of data
}

how can I get it organized and going in like that line by line?

Answer 1

remaining_data = []
for line in open("file.txt",'r'):
 if line.find("Example") > -1:
 info = line.split()
 var1 = info[0]
 var2 = info[1]
 var3 = info[2]
 remaining_data.append(' '.join(info[3:]))

at the end of the loop, remaining data will have all lines with out the first 3 elements

Answer 2

by using a slice

remaining_data=info[3:]

If you need the indices you could do

for i, line in enumerate(info[3:]):
 print("{}: {}".format(i, line))
