title: Python: Finding values after searching for a string in a text files
body: <p>I'm new to the world of python and I'm trying to extract values from multiple text files. I can open up the files fine with a loop, but I'm looking for a straight forward way to search for a string and then return the value after it.</p>
  
  <p>My results text files look like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>SUMMARY OF RESULTS
  Max tip rotation =,-18.1921,degrees
  Min tip rotation =,-0.3258,degrees
  Mean tip rotation =,-7.4164,degrees
  Max tip displacement =,6.9956,mm
  Min tip displacement =,0.7467,mm
  Mean tip displacement = ,2.4321,mm
  Max Tsai-Wu FC =,0.6850
  Max Tsai-Hill FC =,0.6877
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I want to be able to search for say 'Max Tsai-Wu =,' and it return 0.6850 
  I want to be able to search for the string as the position of each variable might change at a later date.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry for posting such an easy question, just can't seem to find a straight forward robust way of finding it.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!
