I am surprised to see this program. It seems unnecessarily complex and
somewhat hard to read.
Especially for a rank beginner (the OP)
Also has an unnecessary statement (input_content = [])
IMHO it is more customary and a lot simpler to process the lines in a
file thusly:
for line in open(file1, 'r'):
process the line
