[Tutor] extracting lines in large file

[Bryan Fodness]

I am trying to output all the lines that start with a specific word.
It is a large output file (~14 Mb), but nothing that I thought would
be a problem.

for line in open('output.new'):
    i_line = line.split()
    if i_line:
        if i_line[0] == "intrinsic":
            print i_line

It does not get all of the lines, it stops at line 130323.  There are
~260000 line.  Is there a limit to the number of lines you can read in
this way, or am I overlooking something else.
