This is the loop code:
for line in f2:
for id in idList:
if id in line:
print "%s: %s" % (id, f2.next())
found = "%s: %s" % (id, f2.next())
f3.write(found)
I have an list, idList[], that contains a list of id numbers. That code
will loop the the f2 file and for lines that have an id on it it will
print the "next" line (so I can see what it is doing) and write it to a
file. I will turn off that screen print after I get it going the way I
want it to.
