I have a large .txt file that I need to scan through to extrapolate certain lines of text from. I want to extract all lines that contain X amount of characters, and a certain phrase. How can I go about doing this?

Code

with open('data.txt') as f:
   for line in f.readlines():
       if len(line) > 5 and 'some_word' in line:
           print(line)

with open('data.txt') as f:

       if len(line) > 5 and 'some_word' in line:
           print(line)

It would probably be better to use some sort of regular expression for this.
