Fantastic! I have this, which now works. Is there a better place to put
string.strip?
aisle_one = ["chips", "bread", "pretzels", "magazines"]
grocery_list = open("grocery_list.txt", "r")
for line in grocery_list.readlines():
if line.strip() in aisle_one:
print "success! i found %s" % line
else:
print "no joy matching %s" % line
grocery_list.close()
Thanks Emile.
