string.find does not work in file

[Curly Joe]

I've had similiar, but not he same type of things
happen, and it was several versions ago.  It seems to
work correctly if you specifically declare a variable
name for the data, as in:
data = f.readlines()
for l in data:
etc.

You can also try a variation on find, although it
shouldn't matter,
int_result = l.find( '"\n' )

We know that there is a "\n" because that's the break
point for readlines, so it has to be the '"' if you
are gettin more than one line read.  If this doesn't
work, then post what you do get as output.  Also, I
assume that the 3 quotes in '"\n' is intentional.
