Hi all:

Just wondering how I would print only a given line in a text file.  For
example, I would like to print the 8th line in this multi-line file, foo.
txt.

      in_file = open ("foo.txt", "r")
      for line in in_file.readlines():
            print line        # I know this prints all lines
            print ????        # How do I print line 8 only ???

Thanks,

Stuart, the Python newbie
