Forgive me if I'm asking something stupid, but I'm not sure how to do
this (there are so many options in Python, I'm overwhelmed and
confused).
Look into the split method of string objects (which are what you should
be reading from the file), then look into indexing the resulting list
objects. That should focus your attentions...

I have a text file that looks like this:
1 the 126 name
2 of 127 very
3 to 128 through
4 and 129 just
5 a 130 form
6 in 131 much
7 is 132 great
etc...
Each has 2 numbers and 2 words on it. Each number is related to the word
that comes after it. So "1" and "the" are connected (kinda like a
dictionary), and "126" and "name" are related.
Using the above text file as an input, I'm trying to make an output that
lists all the words, one word per line, but none of the numbers. I was
hoping to get the words listed in order of their related numbers. So,
the output needs to look like:
the
of
to
.... (skip to the 127th line)
very
through
just
I can open and loop over the text, I'm just not sure what commands I
should use to parse each line. Can anyone give me suggestions or examples?
