Is there a way to read a .txt file and store each line to memory?

Question

I am making a little program that will read and display text from a document. I have got a test file which looks like this:

12,12,12
12,31,12
1,5,3
...

You may also be interested in the csv module. It lets you parse, read and write to files in the comma-separated values( csv) format...which your example appears to be in.

Example:

import csv
reader = csv.reader( open( 'file.txt', 'rb'), delimiter=',' )
#Iterate over each row
for idx,row in enumerate(reader):
    print "%s: %s"%(idx+1,row)
