How to find a specific string in a .txt file Python -


i have large textfile on computer (location: /home/seth/documents/bruteforce/passwords.txt) , i'm trying find specific string in file. list has 1 word per line , 215,000 lines/words. know of simple python script can use find specific string?

here's code have far,

f = open("home/seth/documents/bruteforce/passwords.txt", "r") line in f.readlines():     line = str(line.lower())     print str(line)     if str(line) == "abe":         print "success!"     else:         print str(line) 

i keep running script, never finds word in file (and know sure word in file).

is there wrong code? there simpler method 1 i'm trying use?

your appreciated.

ps: i'm using python 2.7 on debian linux laptop.

it's because forgot strip new line char @ end of each line.

line = line.strip().lower()
