Hey Kumar, 

nearly there - 

List1 =
['Tyres','windsheild','A\CUnit','Model=Toyota_Corolla']

In other list I have :
List2= ['Corolla','Accord','Camry']

for element1 in List1:
      for element2 in List2:
         if element2 in element1:
              #Do something here, usually a break or continue clause

(Incidentally,'for element in list' is an easier version of for i in
range(len(list)) when you don't need to use index numbers. It just
steps element by element.)

'if x in y' works for strings within strings as well.

Regards,

Liam Clarke
