Fwd: Delete lines containing a specific word

[Francesco Pietra]

I forgot to add that the lines to strip are in present case of the type of the
following block

HETATM 7007 O WAT 446 27.622 34.356 55.205 1.00 0.00 O
HETATM 7008 H1 WAT 446 27.436 34.037 56.145 1.00 0.00 H
HETATM 7009 H2 WAT 446 27.049 33.827 54.563 1.00 0.00 H

occurring in a 300MB file.

In present case each three-lines block is followed by line renumbering (7007,
7008, 7009 are line numbers). So, the script is simply to strip the lines
containing :WAT".

In other cases the block is intermediate. Therefore, a second script would be
useful where the line that follow the block are renumbered, e.g, line "HETATM
7010" following the above block renumbered "HEATM 7006".

Please, how to adapt the following script (to delete blank lines) to delete
lines containing a specific word, or words?

f=open("output.pdb", "r")
for line in f:
line=line.rstrip()
if line:
print line
f.close()

If python in Linux accepts lines beginning with # as comment lines, please
also
a script to comment lines containing a specific word, or words, and back, to
remove #.

Thanks
