read data in specific column and row of a text file
<p>I Have a text file which contain 3 columns and 20000 rows.
I like to know what should I do to get the specific data (for example) in row 1000 and column 2?
My first column is formatted like AAAA and my second column is a number like 1234.
I tried this solution but I got an error based on my first column being letters
I would like to define a variable which contains my data at the end:</p>

<pre><code>with open ('my_file') as f:
    for x , line in eumerate(f):
         if x = 1000:
             numfloat = map(float , line.split())
             print numfloat[1]
</code></pre>

<pre><code>import re

with open('my_file', 'r') as f:
    for x, line in enumerate(f):
        if x == 1000: 
            array = re.split('(\d+)',line) # array=['AAAA','123'] if line='AAAA123'
            print array[1] # your required second row.
</code></pre>

python text row line
