import string
import sys
 
true = 1
false = 0

def readlines(filename):
   infile = open("test.txt", "r")
   while 1:
      text = infile.readlines()
      if text == "":
         break
      if text[0] == '#':
         continue
      if not text:
         break
      text = text.rstrip()
      infile.close()
      return text
