Assuming your text blob is named `alltext`, you get the third line after splitting it into a list of lines: `alltext.split("\n")[2]` — John, Nov 01 '20 at 10:33
Read a file line-wise and count the current line. Print the lines you want to print. — Thomas Sablik, Nov 01 '20 at 10:33

This should help you:

f = open("D:\\Test.txt","r")
third_line = f.readlines()[2].strip()
f.close()
print(third_line)

Output:

3,04/09/15,18:00,Ripley,Billy Casper,Y,Billy Casper

Here's example:

with open("./records.txt") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    for i, line in enumerate(lines):
        if i==3:
            print(line)
