Thanks — very useful tips. FYI, the “Skipping beginning of iterable” example doesn’t behave as expected for me because the first line in the string is just a \n. To get it to behave as expected, I had to change your snippet to:
string_from_file = """// Author: ... // License: ... // // Date: ... Actual content... """ import itertools for line in itertools.dropwhile(lambda line: line.startswith("//"), string_from_file.split("\n")): print(line)
Yep, you are right, thanks. It worked when I was testing it, but probably added extra new line when I was copying it to blog. Good catch! :)
