[Tutor] Location of found item in list.

[Chris Hengge]

I'm looking for a way to do the following.

for item in limitedLineList:
        if item in directoryList:
            print match.ljust(20) + limitedLineList[count].ljust(20) + directoryList[ count].ljust(20)
        else:
            print fail.ljust(20) + limitedLineList[count].ljust(20) + directoryList[count].ljust(20)
            os.rename(pathName + directoryList[ count], pathName + limitedLineList[count])
        count = count + 1

Where I have underlined, needs to be the item from the directoryList, and I'm unable to find a way to return that.

The code is actually doing what I want correctly, (cheated a test by hand changing variables), but I need to find the directory location.

Thanks.
