readlines() problem, more info

[John Purser]

Hello,

I've got a little function:

def FindLine(Record):
     im1_Dif.seek(0)
     temp = im1_Dif.readlines(Record)
     lngCount = 0L
     for line in temp:
          print str(lngCount), '   ', line
          lngCount += 1
     test = im1_Dif.readline()
     print test

 That I'm using to trouble shoot a small script.  When I run this in the
interactive mode it returns 136 lines to "temp" no matter what number I pass
to it.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

I'm using Python 2.2 on Windows 2000.

Thanks,

John Purser
