How to get a specific row and the content in it?

Question

Python

I have given line in .txt file:

VERSION: 0.1.0
NAME: name.
AUTHOR: author.

I need to get exactly the line that starts with the word VERSION and get 0.1.0 or other content in it, regardless of the location of the word VERSION in the code (before NAME, after NAME, etc.). How can i do this?

Answer 1

data = {}

for line in open('some.txt', 'r').readlines():
  if line.startswith('VERSION'):
    data[0] = line[9:]
