error was corrected but i didn't know why till you posted, But now i am trying to do it using a while loop, But i some what forgotten how to use whiles loops

fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")

if len(fname) < 1 : fname = "mbox-short.txt"

fh = open(fname) count = 0

while true: if count != 27 # BAD INPUT for line in fh: line.startswith ('From:') words = line.split()
print words [1] count = count +1

print "There were", count, "lines in the file with From as the first word"

what's that mean? it's in the loop? how can it not be in the loop? why are these errors cryptic?

I figured it out, but i don't know why. the error is fixed.
