I am new to python and I want to compare 2 strings, here is my code: [start]
import active_directory import re lstUsers = [] users = active_directory.root() for user in users.search ("sn='gallagher'"): lstUsers.append(user.samAccountName) print "----------------------------------------" lstUsers.sort() ## Printing out what is inside of the arrar(list) x = 0 while x < len(lstUsers): if re.compile(lstUsers[x]).match("None",0): print "Somthing here" x = x + 1 [/end] When I do the: if re.compile(lstUsers[x]).match("None",0): print "Somthing here" Some of the items in lstUsers[x] are the word None. I am not sure why I cant do this I want to compare lstUsers[x] to the word "None", how can I do this. Thanks Timothy F.
