Hi Pedro,
It would be _really useful_ if you included code that could be pasted
into an interpreter or file directly to show your problem. You are
referencing several data sources ("satellite_dataread" and "list2") that
we can only guess at.

Hello, I'm wondering how to append a line from a file onto a
list(easy part) provided that the line contains strings specific to a
previous list I've already made(hard part).
The following is a complete version of your example with some guessed-at
data:
"""
satellite_dataread = (
"spam ham eggs,ctry0\n",
"spam ham eggs foo,ctry1\n",
"spam ham,ctry2\n",
"spam bar ham eggs,ctry3\n",
)
list2 = ['foo', 'bar']
satellite_origin_list = []
for line in satellite_dataread:
if any(i in line for i in list2):
line = line.strip()
satellite, country= line.split(',')
satellite_origin_list.append(country)
print (satellite_origin_list)
"""
When I put that in a file and run it, I get:
$ python foo.py
['ctry1', 'ctry3']
$ python3 foo.py
['ctry1', 'ctry3']
So, it seems to work as you describe already - what is it that I am
missing? Please explain what you expect to see (or change the guessed-at
input data to an example of what you actually have).
E.
