Code:

Quick question on this. It works nicely when there are just 2 list but what when I try it for a file that has some sentences it doesn't seem to work. For example, List1 is as above but List2 is something like:
List of names
Names:
Anthony
Ed
Bob
Dave
After running the command List1 is empty, like it couldn't match anything from List2 due to the added lines in the beginning. Any ideas? Thanks!
