What you want is the zip() function

Note, this assumes that when a line is "bad" from either file, you're going
to also ignore the corresponding line from the other. If you have to
accommodate variable misses in the lining up, then your work is *much*
harder.
Much harder? Not really - see my solution above with a simple 'break'.
Much less clear what's going on, though, it is. Iterating together
over both files with zip is much cleaner.
