(I'm sure you mean "a question"; in english, "a doubt" is something 
slightly different, and quite often more negative.)

one or more lines in your file doesn't match the description; try adding 
a print statement (see above) to see what they might look like, and make 
sure that you filter them out (e.g. by checking the size of the list you 
get from the split, as Terry explains).
