Re: Equivalent string.find method for a list of strings

[Joshua Ginsberg]

try:
filter(lambda x: lines[x].find(searchstring) != -1, range(len(lines)))
That will return a list with the indices of every line containing a hit 
for your search string.

I really like this option, but what I want to  know where in the file 
this line exists (i.e. line 42).  Can  I somehow access this line and 
the lines immediately following?
Thanks,
Jeremy
