It depends what type of file it is.

"OFS.Image.File" objects give access to their content through "str".
Therefore, you could use:

	   for line in str(file).split('\n'):
	     ... line processing ...

If your file is quite large (in the order of MB), then this is
not a good approach, though.

You did read the Zope Book (2.6 Edition)?

Have a look at

My "DocFinder" product may be very helpful to find out what methods
an object provides:
