[Tutor] How to skip to next line in for loop

[Brain Stormer]

Well,
I was somewhat confused with all of the answers so I decided to go with
my/following method.  Kent's method has 4 fewer lines of code than mine and
cleaner.  Please correct me if I am fundamentally wrong.

f=open('file.txt',r)

for line in f.read().split():
    if line == "3"
          position = True
    else:
          position = False
    if position == True
          print line
          position = False
f.close()
