Problem with readlines() and uml

[wscrsurfdude]

Ik have an uml file I want to read with readlines. I have the following
code:
infile = open("out2.txt","r")
for line in infile.readlines():
print line

The print statement just gives the data, not the uml headings. Is there
a solution which also gives the uml headings.

What is an "uml file" ?

You get what can be read from the file when opened as a text file and
read line by line. Be sure that neither file.readlines() nor print won't
invent data that are not in the file.

not the uml headings. Is there
a solution which also gives the uml headings.

If they're not in the file, obviously, no - whatever "uml heading" might
be.

Still the same question : what is an "xml heading" ? xml is a textual
markup language. It has elements ('tags') which can have content and
attributes - but nothing like "headings".

file.readlines() iterates over lines of a opened text file - it doesn't
give a damn about what this text is, xml, python code, csv or whatever.
If your file contains xml and you want to interpret the xml, you have to
use a xml parser.
