How do I get index of line

Question

I'm reading the file, so how do I get the turns, or index for each line?

for line in excelRead:
    keywrds=[]
    title=line.split("+")
    title=[lines.strip()for lines in title]
    print title[0]

So, when I read my first line in excel, line variable is equal to line value in excel, but how do I find which turn it is?

Answer 1

Use enumerate():

for index, line in enumerate(excelRead, start=1):
    keywrds=[]
    title=line.split("+")
    title=[lines.strip()for lines in title]
    print title[0]
    print index

The start parameter to the enumerate indicates that you want to start the index at 1, instead of 0.

Answer 2

Try:

for index, line in enumerate(excelRead, start=1):
    # use index as you wish
    keywrds=[]
    title=line.split("+")
    title=[lines.strip()for lines in title]
    print title[0]

start=1 because by default it starts at 0, but Excel's first row is row 1.
