Code under if-statement performing under false conditions in python

I want the block of code under the if-statement to only run if the word "trip" is found in that particular line. However, my print output indicates that even the lines without the word "trip" are in the result. This is the code: 

for line in file:
    #match = re.search(r'\rTrip', line)
    #if match:
    if line.find('\rTrip') != -1:
        someArray = []
        times = re.compile(r'\d+:\d+')
        miles = re.compile(r'\d+\.\d+')
        names = re.compile(r'[A-Za-z]{2,25}||\s[A-Za-z]{2,25}')

        nam = line.split('\rTrip')

        num = line.split()

        drivenTimes = times.findall(str(num))
        drivenMiles = miles.findall(str(num))

        driverNames = names.findall(str(nam))
        someArray.append(line)
        print(line)

See correct code here !!!

import re

with open('C:\\Users\\Grace\\Documents\\test.txt', 'r') as lines:
       line2=lines.read().split('\n')    
       for line in line2:
               if line.find('Trip') == -1:

                  someArray = []

                 times = re.compile(r'\d+:\d+')
                 miles = re.compile(r'\d+\.\d+')
                 names = re.compile(r'[A-Za-z]{2,25}||\s[A-Za-z]{2,25}')

                 nam = line.split('\rTrip')


                 num = line.split()

                 drivenTimes = times.findall(str(num))
                 drivenMiles = miles.findall(str(num))



                driverNames = names.findall(str(nam))
                someArray.append(line)
                print(line)

Substring matching in python can be accomplished using the in operator. IE:

if 'trip' in line:
  # Code here for the presence of "trip"
