Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to read the entire file
as a string first and carve it up from there instead?
I ended up doing this, but please reply if you have a more elegant solution:
if line.startswith('notes'):
break
notes = open('myfile','r').read().split(notes:\n')[1]
Seems like an elegant solution to me, as long as the file fits available
memory. There will be 2 copies of the file after the split.
Another way:
textFile = open('myfile','r')
for line in textFile:
if line.startswith('notes'):
notes = textFile.read()
