Not if your file was as you described in another message, with no data
associated with each key. The lookup is yielding an empty string, which
is correct. lsearch, like all single-key lookup types, takes a key as an
argument, and yields a value as a result. If the file is
key1: value1
key2: value2
then looking up "key1" gets you "value1" etc. The colons after the keys
are optional if there is whitespace. Consequently, a file that just
contains
key1
key2
is going to yield an empty string for every key that it contains.
