[CentralOH] parsing Windows command line output

[Eric Lake]

I may have answered my own question. I know that this could probably
be done in a more elegant way so I am looking for suggestions. Here is
the code that I have come up with so far:

data = open('file.txt', 'r')

data.next()
data.next()
data.next()
data.next()

for line in data:
    clusdata = []
    line.strip()
    info = line.split('  ')
    for x in info:
        if x != '':
            x = x.strip()
            if x .endswith('\\r\\n'):
                x = x.strip('\\r\\n')
            clusdata.append(x)
    print clusdata

data.close()
