[Tutor] searching for multiple strings in line.starswith()

[Bala subramanian]

Friends,
I have to extract the line from a file that does not contain a set of
strings in the start of the line, i wrote the following code.

for index, line in enumerate(myvar.split('\n')):
    if line.startswith('') not in ['#Cluster','#Centroid','#End']:
        line=line.split()
        print line

The code works without error but it seems that the condition is not applied.
What is the correct way of searching for multiple strings at the start of a
line.
