Newbie: Reading textfiles

[Mike Fletcher]

First approach:

file = open( filename )
line = file.readline()
while line:
	doprocessing( line )
	line = file.readline()


Second approach:

import fileinput
file = fileinput.FileInput( filename )
for line in file:
	doprocessing(line)

HTH,
Mike

Hi,

after looking for a"clever" solution for reading a text file line by line 
from the beginning to the end for the whole day, I have to ask this 
ridiculous newbie question:

How do I read a textfile line by line and catch the eof?
