How do you know that it's the only one being tested? Your debugging statement only prints one that actually matches, not each one that is tried. > keywords1 = [line for line in open('keywords1.txt')] Note that each "keyword" will including the trailing newline, if any. This is probably why you are only seeing the last keyword match: because it is the only one without a trailing newline. To remove the newlines, call the str.strip or str.rstrip method on each line, or use the str.splitlines method to get the keywords: keywords1 = open('keywords1.txt').read().splitlines() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
