[Tutor] Silly loop question

[mailing list]

Hi all, 

I should know this, but it seems to elude me at present. 

I have a loop which is looping through a line of chars by index. 

So, one of these -  

for i in range(len(line)):


Now, question is, is there a simple way to 'fast forward'  index i?

At the moment, I'm doing it like this - 

changeIndex = None
al = len(line)
for i in range(al):

         if changeIndex and (i < changeIndex):
             continue

        if line[i] == "{":
		nextRightBracket = line.find("}",i)
                #other stuff happens
                changeIndex = nextRightBracket + 1


As I said, pretty dumb question, so somewhat expecting to be told to
read Alan's tutorial again. *grin*
