[Tutor] Location of found item in list.

[Chris Hengge]

If that last post to Luke didn't clear anything up.. lets try this at a
smaller level...
I'm going to ignore the fact that my program already renames the file
properly..

I have list1 of filenames
I have list2 of filenames

Item from list 1 needs to be found in list2, but I can't change cases,
because thats what I'm looking for. I suppose, I could .sort each list after
chopping the extra files names out of list2 that aren't in list1. then all I
have to do is list1[count] = list2[count]

What I'd like to know, is why my program works, if I can't get it to display
the proper filename in the 3rd output column. I guess
os.rename(notcasesensitive,
iscasesensitive) ?
