I meant to add in my other reply that you could combine the
reading and writing into a single 'with' block and thus avoid
creating the intermediate list. That could save important
memory if searchfile is a big file.
You can open 2 files in a single with statement:
with open('foo.txt','r') as infile, open ('bar.txt','w') as outfile:
for line in infile:
if searchstring in line:
outfile.write(line)
