How do i skip strings using open()?

Question

f =("filename.txt", "r")
print(f.readline(x))

Answer 1

Ace Brown if you know how far you want to skip or exactly where you want to start reading next, you can use the seek() method.

Otherwise, you can just read the strings and not use them until you get to the desired place in the file.

Answer 2

I would use something like this if I knew exactly what line I want to start with:

x = int(input())
import itertools
with open('yourfile.txt') as f:
line_to_begin = f.readlines()[x:]

Answer 3

Let's say I want to begin after the first 5 characters would I have to do those things ?
X = int(input(?) )
Import intertools
With open ('filename.txt) as f:
Lin_to_begin = f.readline()[5:]
??

Answer 4

Ace Brown based on the rewrite yes that should skip over the first 5 strings not characters

I used x as int(input()) as a means to point to how many strings you wanted to skip.
