Python find exact match in a text file












-2














I know there have been similar questions but i couldn't find example close to mine.



file = open("id_list.txt")
ids = file.read()
user = 'admin'
if user not in ids:
#do something
file.close()


This works fine with string like admin in the id_list.txt but will also work if the string is admin123 or rtadmin. I have tried



if user != ids:


with no luck

  • your for loop is syntactically incorrect. Also what is data['queries'] in your code ?

  • Hey thanks for looking. data['queries'] is output of queries attribute in a json file. There is alot more to the code but I made this as simple as possible. If there is no simple solution i will have to rewrite my loop

  • Now your code is incorrectly indented. Also what is query? It's not defined anywhere

ids = stream.read()
words = ids.strip().split()
keywords = ['admin','admin123','rtadmin']

if item not in ids:
