readline in while loop

[Geert Fannes]

i'm indeed a C++ programmer. then i have another question: suppose i 
have 2 files and i want to read from both of them. things like this do 
not work:

f1=file("file1","r");
f2=file("file2","r");
for line1 in f1 and line2 in f2:
	print line1,line2;

any idea how i can solve this?
