I'm new to python. I don't know why when I use str.read(), all character store in each line like this here 

while True:
    fhand = input('Enter a file name:\n')
    try:
        fname = open(fhand)
        break
    except:
        print('Please enter file name again in doc C')
    continue
fr = fname.read()
for line in fr:
    line = line.rstrip()
    if not line.startwith('From')
        print(line)

  • change `fr = fname.read()` to `fr = fname.read().splitlines()` – Paul M. Mar 21 '20 at 01:13

    You should just iterate over the file object directly to iterate over the lines. In any case, please read [ask] and the [help]. Questions seeking debugging help must provide a [mcve], and that must be self-contained in the question. Post all code as [*formatted text*.](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/22186/how-do-i-format-my-code-blocks) – juanpa.arrivillaga Mar 21 '20 at 01:25

    @user10987432 that is an anti-pattern. If you really wanted that, you should just sue `fr = list(fname)`, but almost certainly, you can just use the file-object directly to not read the whole thing in to memory. – juanpa.arrivillaga Mar 21 '20 at 01:25
  • Be careful about using a bare `except` like this, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54948548/what-is-wrong-with-using-a-bare-except. Also, I would recommend using a context manager to handle file objects. – AMC Mar 21 '20 at 02:17

instead of fname.read() use fname.readlines()
