[Tutor] Location of found item in list.

[Chris Hengge]

Yes, I tried what you suggested, I've changed my looping structure to this:

    count = 0
    for itemLine in lineList:
        for itemDirectory in directoryList:
            if itemLine == itemDirectory:
                print match.ljust(20) + itemLine.ljust(20) +
itemDirectory.ljust(20)
            else:
                print fail.ljust(20) + itemLine.ljust(20) +
itemDirectory.ljust(20)
            #os.rename(pathName + item, pathName + LineList[count])
        count = count + 1

I'm just trying to figure out where to put the break(s), but I need to
verify this is working since I'll be using it to rename files.. my old
structure did EXACTLY what I wanted (I replied to my original post with more
details and screen captures) as far as renaming the files.. but the display
was screwed up.
