I have a txt file which is basically a question paper, I wanted to read that file and execute some operations between two words.

Let's say there are 3 parts, PART A, PART B, PART C, and I wanted to do some operations like check all the question numbers whether is it present between PART A and PART B.

Check this link of the question paper

I wanted to check whether all the 12 questions are present in part A section

To summarise I wanted to read only between two words within the txt file

This is the entire code.
im comparing between two question papers
Note: its raw code not completed

# Ask the user to enter the names of files to compare
fname1 = input("Enter the Blue print name: ")
fname2 = input("Enter the Source name: ")

# Open file for reading in text mode (default mode)
f1 = open(fname1)
f2 = open(fname2)

# Print confirmation
print("-----------------------------------")
print("Comparing files ", " BP " + fname1, " SRC " +fname2, sep='n')
print("-----------------------------------")

# Read the first line from the files
f1_line = f1.readline()
f2_line = f2.readline()

# Initialize counter for line number
line_no = 1
NoError=True
# Loop if either file1 or file2 has not reached EOF
while f1_line != '' or f2_line != '':

 # Strip the leading whitespaces
 f1_line = f1_line.rstrip()
 f2_line = f2_line.rstrip()

 # Compare the lines from both file
 if f1_line != f2_line:

 # If a line does not exist on file2 then mark the output with + sign
 if f2_line == '' and f1_line != '':
 NoError=False
 print("Additional line found in BP", "Line-%d" % line_no, f1_line)
 # otherwise output the line on file1 and mark it with > sign

I might be over simplifying this, but can you not just split at the headers to get what you need?

text = 'PART A: This is Part A, ham and eggs. PART B: This is part B, eggs and ham'

text.split('PART A:')[1].split('PART B:')[0].strip()

Resulting in:

'This is Part A, ham and eggs.'

You may first search using some if statements that on which line do the word come .

Then make a loop between the lines and operate as you wish.

For example if PART 1 comes on line 10 and PART 2 comes on line 18 then make a loop between lines 10 and 18 and operate as you wish.
