str.find for multiple strings

[Josef Meile]

Hi,

looking at your code is obvious that what you want to do
is to look for servers on the "ath_ips.txt" file and then
comment the line where they appear. I think this search
and replace function can be done with regular expressions
(see the re module). The servers belong to the same
network, and only the two left digits are different.

Regards,
Josef
