Ignore first few letters of a line when reading file.
#14
The issue is solved. Thanks for everyone who has been part of this thread.

Here is the solution:
with open("file.txt",) as f:
    line = f.readline() # Line is read from file. In this example, the line is "name = John".
    name = line.split() 
    print("My name is" + name[2]) # This should print out "My name is John". John is the third string in the line, 
    # after "name" and "="
