I have two files for eg input.txt and output.txt.
input.txt
000000008b8c5200 bcbiubcbueqihd167 0000000056fb2620 akbhjgbfre34168gf 0000000045ab4630 jbshjdb7usvyysdu8 00000000672fa001 jhwdggdiuqwhuhius
output.txt
00000000af16380f avhdhjwqdjdkjdnxk 0000000056fb2620 akbhjgbfre34168gf 0000000045ab4630 jbshjdb7usvyysdu8 000000008b8c5200 bdqjhwdjhfjjehfiu
i have to compare these two files such a way that if first column between two files matches then i have to check for 2nd column and if both matches then it’s okay and if second column doesn’t match then i have to write that data to a file.
that is
if 00000000af16380f is not present in output.txt then i have to write that row in to a file named unmatch.txt.
unmatch.txt:(if address of input.txt doesn’t matches with output.txt)
00000000af16380f avhdhjwqdjdkjdnxk
and if address matches for eg: input.txt and output.txt both have same address then i need to check if thier datas matches. if data is not matching i need to write it in to another file un_data.txt.
un_data.txt
000000008b8c5200 bcbiubcbueqihd167 000000008b8c5200 bdqjhwdjhfjjehfiu
how can i do this?
this is current code:
file_1 = None
file_2 = None
with open("input.txt) as f_1:
file_1 = [line.strip() for line in f_1.readlines()]
with open(:output.txt)as f_2:
file_2 = [line.strip() for line in f_2.readlines()]
file_3 = []
for line in file_1:
if line not in file_2:
file_3.append(line)
file_3 = 'n'.join(file_3)
with open("data.txt", "w") as f_3:
f_3.write(file_3)

Based on the information provided, here is what I came up with:
Code has been commented for further explanation:
# ------------------------------------------------------
# IMPORT the text files
# ------------------------------------------------------
file_1 = None
file_2 = None
with open("input.txt") as f_1:
file_1 = [line.strip() for line in f_1.readlines()]
with open("output.txt")as f_2:
file_2 = [line.strip() for line in f_2.readlines()]
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Function for storing list into a file
# ------------------------------------------------------
def list_to_file(my_list, filename):
# Convert list to string
my_list = 'n'.join(my_list)
# Write string to file
with open(filename, "w") as f:
f.write(my_list)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Hold the columns of output.txt into their own respective lists
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
f2_addresses = []
f2_data = []
for line_2 in file_2:
address_2, data_2 = line_2.split(' ')
f2_addresses.append(address_2)
f2_data.append(data_2)
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# This will hold the lines for the
# - un_data.txt file
# - unmatch.txt file
# -------------------------------------------------------------
un_data_lines = []
unmatch_lines = []
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# Iterate through input.txt and compare against output.txt
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
for line in file_1:
address_1, data_1 = line.split(' ')
# Check if address_1 is in output.txt
if address_1 in f2_addresses:
# Get the index of the address within the f2_addresses list
address_index = f2_addresses.index(address_1)
# Compare the data columns - if do not match - append lines to un_data_lines
if data_1 != f2_data[address_index]:
un_data_lines.append(f'{address_1} {data_1}')
un_data_lines.append(f'{f2_addresses[address_index]} {f2_data[address_index]}')
else:
unmatch_lines.append(f'{address_1} {data_1}')
# ------------------------------------------
# Store the lists into files
# ------------------------------------------
list_to_file(un_data_lines, 'un_data.txt')
list_to_file(unmatch_lines, 'unmatch.txt')
OUTPUT:
unmatch.txt
00000000672fa001 jhwdggdiuqwhuhius
un_data.txt
