Hi,
I'm trying to search for list values in a set of files. The goal is to
generate a list of lists that can later be sorted. I can only get a match
on the first value in the list:
contents of value_file:
value1
value2
value3
...
The desired output is:
file1 value1
file1 value2
file2 value3
file3 value1
...
Bit it's only matching on the first item in vals, so the result is:
file1 value1
file3 value1
The subsequent values are not searched.
filenames = [list populated with filenames in a dir tree]
vals = []
value_file = open(vars)
for i in value_file:
vals.append(i.strip())
value_file.close()
for file_list in filenames:
with open(file_list) as files:
for items in vals:
for line in files:
if items in line:
print file_list, line
for line in vals:
print line
returns:
['value1', 'value2', 'value3']
print filenames
returns:
['file1', 'file2', 'file3']
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
