For all who dont get what I'm trying to do... I've bolded what needs to change...

This is the code...wanted result of the comparisons works, but I am unable to display correctly..

    count = 0
    for item in limitedLineList:
        if item in directoryList:
            print match.ljust(20) + item.ljust(20) + item.ljust(20)
        else:
            print fail.ljust(20) + item.ljust(20) + item.ljust(20)
            #os.rename(pathName + item, pathName + limitedLineList[count])
        count = count + 1

This is a pretty capture of the real output this script provides... (its formatted on the screen, but drops when I past here)

Tested:             File Name:                Directory Name:
Fail!                  SL_39.sdr                 SL_39.sdr
Match!              PSL_MBD5.FRU        PSL_MBD5.FRU
Match!              XSL_MBD3.FRU        XSL_MBD3.FRU
Match!              RA_MBD4.FRU         RA_MBD4.FRU
Match!              XVN_MBD3.FRU        XVN_MBD3.FRU
Match!              P_R24BP.FRU         P_R24BP.FRU
Match!              P_R26BP.FRU         P_R26BP.FRU
Match!              P_R24BPE.FRU        P_R24BPE.FRU
Match!              P_R26BPE.FRU        P_R26BPE.FRU
Match!              S_R24BP.FRU         S_R24BP.FRU
Match!              S_R26BP.FRU         S_R26BP.FRU
Match!              S_R24BPE.FRU        S_R24BPE.FRU
Match!              S_R26BPE.FRU        S_R26BPE.FRU

Ok, I bolded the line that is my example.
3rd column should say SL_39.SDR (because I just changed it to that so it would flag as failed)
if you look at my code for both match and fail, I printed item... (just to make the darn thing work for now) the 3rd column needs to be the value from the 2nd list (directoryList) This list item is what I can't get to print.

If I uncomment the underlined line of my script, it will infact rename the lowercase extension to uppercase, as it should.

        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.
