Fantastic! I have this, which now works. Is there a better place to put
string.strip?

I might make the changes below, but there's nothing wrong with the way you've got it.


aisle_one = ["chips", "bread", "pretzels", "magazines"]

grocery_list = open("grocery_list.txt", "r")

grocery_list= [ item.strip()
   for item in open("grocery_list.txt", "r").readlines() ]

for line in grocery_list.readlines():

for item in grocery_list:

     if line.strip() in aisle_one:

    if item in aisle_one:

        print "success! i found %s" % line
     else:
        print "no joy matching %s" % line
grocery_list.close()
