path = "sample.txt" word = "my word" Open file and copy the lines lines = [] with open(path, "r") as f: lines += f.readlines() delete all the lines that doesn't have the matching word lines = list(filter(lambda line: word not in line, lines)) #Use the filterd list as you want print(lines) ----------------------------- or you can use a for loop instead of the filter function for i in range(len(lines)): if word not in lines[i]: lines.remove(i)
