Answer 1

filename = input('Enter file name: ')
f = open(filename, 'r')
first_line = True
for line in f:
    if first_line:  # ignore first line
        first_line = False
    else:  # process rest of the lines
        print(line.strip())  # I am just printing rest of the lines, you can use it do anything..
f.close()
