For循环转储整个文件，而不是第一行

Question

下面的for循环会转储整个文件(.txt)而不是第一行？

For循环：

counter = 0

for line in file:
    while counter < 1:
        counter = counter + 1
        print line.split()

Answer 1

假设f被实例化为open("file.txt", "r")，那么您只需简单地迭代文件即可。

如果您只想要第一行之后的元素，那么尝试以下构造：

with(open("file.txt", "r")) as f:
    li = f.readlines()
    for line in li[1:]:
        print line.split()

Answer 2

如果您想要的只是第一行(例如获取标题)，那么下面的代码应该可以做到这一点：

with open('file.txt', 'rb') as f:
    print f.readline().split()
