Inputs:
List1 ['a.exe','b.exe',c.exe']
List2 ['A.exe',B.eXe',c.EXE']
for item in List1:
if item in List2:
print item + " " + list2thing that matched.
I can't force to upper or lower, that would break the already working code..
Its just this darn output for list2 that isn't working.
I tried the suggested list.index(item) but that wont work if there isn't a match.
Right now my code works when there is a match, and if there isnt'...
It also works for renaming the actual file to match the file call from the document.
I'm about to take the display out, since I dont honestly care that it works, but now that I've been working with it I'm being stubborn and want the darn thing to show me =P

Sorry, it's index() not find(). Strings have both but lists only have
index()

Still not clear - the above looks like it would actually run.

There is only one sentence in the above example.
I think you want index(). If not, maybe you could show a small sample of
the data and the result you want.
