title: How can I have Python read a file from my directory and print the data in columns?
body: <p>For example
  the data in my directory is a simple txt file formatted like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>Cat 123 123 123</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Rat 321 321 321</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Bat 123 123 123</code></p>
  
  <p>How would I go about having Python read the txt file and specifically print columns 2 and 4?</p>
  
  <p>The txt file is a large amount of data. By large I mean I can't format it by hand.</p>
