I cannot figure out the logic for this. I am attempting to compare a list of matches 'matches' to files from a folder. If file in 'folders' equal the name in 'matches', then do something, but obviously it doesn't 'try' each match to each file. I'm thinking I need to use a while loop but I don't know how to apply it.

import os
import glob
import os.path

folders = glob.glob('C:\Corrections\*.*')
matches = open('filename.txt', 'r')

for each in folders:
 splitname_one = each.split('\', 3) #Separate the filename from the path
 filename = splitname_one[3] #Get Filename only
 basefile = filename.split('.', 1) #Separate filename and file extension
 compare0 = basefile[0] #assign base file name to compare0
 #print (basefile[0])
 for line in matches:
 match = line.split('.', 1) #Separe base filename from file extension
 #print (match[1])
 compare1 = match[0] #assign base file name to compare1
 if compare1==compare0:
 #os.rename(filename, 'C:\holder\' + filename)
 print ('We Have a match!')
 else:
 print ('no match :( ')

FWIW here's how I might end up doing something like this:

import glob
from os.path import basename, splitext

def file_base(filename):
 return splitext(basename(filename))[0]

folders = set(file_base(f) for f in glob.glob('C:\Corrections\*.*'))

with open('filename.txt') as fobj:
 matches = set(file_base(f) for f in fobj.readlines())

print(folders.intersection(matches))
