e.g. Print the section of input file 'input.txt' between line number 22 and 89.
Using python enumerate function sequence numbers:
for i,line in enumerate(open("file.txt")):
if i >= 21 and i < 89 :
print line,
And if you want to write the section to a new file say '/tmp/fileA'
fp = open("/tmp/fileA","w")
for i,line in enumerate(open("file.txt")):
if i >= 21 and i < 89 :
fp.write(line)
Another approach:
print(''.join(open('file.txt', 'r').readlines()[21:89])),
And if you wish to write the section to a new file say '/tmp/fileB'
fp = open("/tmp/fileB","w")
fp.write(''.join(open('file.txt', 'r').readlines()[21:89])),
Read about python enumerate function here and below is a small example using python enumerate function:
>>> for i, student in enumerate(['Alex', 'Ryan', 'Deb']):
... print i, student
...
0 Alex
1 Ryan
2 Deb
>>>
