arrays - Python -- Reading lines from file and split it -

i'm trying split lines .txt file stored locally. make loop want start loop on specific index on array. example:

  file_content = open('files/filefinal1_test.txt')   counter = 0   total_lines = 0   global l   index = 0 if l == "" else file_content.index(l)    line in file_content[index:]:      l = line     array_line =line.split('", "')     array_line[0] = array_line[0].replace('"', '')     array_line[1] = array_line[1].replace('"', '')     array_line[2] = array_line[2].replace('"', '')     array_line[3] = array_line[3].replace('"', '')     if (send_req(papi, array_line) == 1):          counter = counter + 1      total_lines = total_lines + 1 

this gives me errors @ : file_content[index:] it's there way start loop @ specific line file_content?

the fact it's code below works , loops array :

for line in file_content:          l = line         array_line =line.split('", "')         array_line[0] = array_line[0].replace('"', '')         array_line[1] = array_line[1].replace('"', '')         array_line[2] = array_line[2].replace('"', '')         array_line[3] = array_line[3].replace('"', '')         if (send_req(papi, array_line) == 1):              counter = counter + 1          total_lines = total_lines + 1 

could me please?

i've fount answer! didn't call method .readlines()

file_content = file_content.readlines() lines in file_content[0:]:      #stuff
