I'm just trying to figure out where to put the break(s), but I need to verify this is working since I'll be using it to rename files.. my old structure did EXACTLY what I wanted (I replied to my original post with more details and screen captures) as far as renaming the files.. but the display was screwed up.

Well, yeah, but it won't go into the if statement if there isn't a
match so what does that matter?

Did you try my example yet?
It should work just fine.
just iterate over both of the lists...
for item1 in List1:
for item2 in List2:
if item1 == item2: #this is equivalent to 'if item1 in List2'
except will match ALL occurrences of item1 in List2. if you want to
only match the first, add a break.
print item1+ ' ' + item2
