I have attached smaller files of each. Basically, the desired output.txt would be all the lines that do not match import.txt (should be 6 out of the 10) - All the PXL- do not match so they are written to output.txt. Thank you Smilie.

import.txt
Code:
ADAMTS10E10for
ADAMTS10E10rev
ADAMTS10E11for
ADAMTS10E11rev
ADAMTS10E20for
ADAMTS10E20rev
