That'll return True if the word 'seek' appears in the first field of
what appears to be the comma-delimited line.
If the file input is comma-delimited, then the OP might very well
want a look at the csv module. Something like:
for line in reader(file):
if line[0] == seek:
# first field matches, do something with line[-1] and line[-2]
# -- I'm not quite sure what the semantics of a pair of greedy
# (.*)s would be
True: but I've personally never seent he point of the csv module unless
we're talking about a more complicated csv format, such as one with
quoting in fields. I don't know if that's what the OP is working with,
but good point: csv might be a good approach if this is more complicated
format then just a line with a couple commas.
