Try this.
NOTE: The script below will compare lines of both files (even hidden
characters such as \n)...
################################################################
def fopen(fname):
try:
return open(fname, 'U')
except IOError, detail:
return fail("couldn't open " + fname + ": " + str(detail))
################################################################
f1 = fopen('file1.txt')
a = f1.readlines(); f1.close()
d1 = {}
for c in a:
d1[c.lower()] = None
#print d1
f2 = fopen('file2.txt')
data = f2.readlines(); f2.close()
for line in data:
if d1.has_key( line ):
print line

What I am trying to do is compare two files to each other.
If the 2nd file contains the same line the first file contains, I want
to print it. I wrote up the following code:
correct_settings = open("C:\Python25\Scripts\Output
\correct_settings.txt","r")
current_settings = open("C:\Python25\Scripts\Output\output.txt","r")
for line in correct_settings:
for val in current_settings:
if val == line:
print line + " found."
correct_settings.close()
current_settings.close()
For some reason this only looks at the first line of the
correct_settings.txt file. Any ideas as to how i can loop through each
line of the correct_settings file instead of just looking at the first?
