Trying to Compare an Integer input by user to a text file and outputting Certain lines from that txt file

Question

I am trying to create a function that takes in a number and compares it to that same number in a txt file. If there is a number, output that entire line, else output that there is no number. Currently, there are only 9 lines.

My txt file (called nbaPointsLeaders.txt) is as follows

    1. James Harden, Houston Rockets, 30.4
    2. Anthony Davis ,New Orleans Pelicans, 28.1
    3. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers, 27.5
    4. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers, 26.9
    5. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, 26.8
    6. Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors, 26.4
    7. Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder, 25.4
    8. Kyrie Irving, Boston Celtics, 24.4
    9. LaMarcus Aldridge, San Antonio Spurs, 23.1

If the user inputs 1, input the entire first line.

Another problem I am running into is:

    TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int

and this comes up whenever I ask a user to input a number.

This is the code I have come up with so far. I am a beginner at python so it might be something obvious too.

    def leaderInPoints(number):
        number = int(input("What number from 1-9 would you like to see?"))
        with open('nbaPointsLeader.txt','r') as file:
              return [i for i in f if number in i])

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

def leaderInPoints(number):

    number = int(input("What number from 1-9 would you like to see?"))
    file = open('nbaPointsLeader.txt','r')
    # get all lines
    content = file.readlines()
    # we get the nth line
    return content[number]
