Thank you for a small code example. It doesn't have enough to illustrate the problem you're describing; we can't run it and see what you're seeing. > filters = [ 'one', 'two', 'three'] > for line in other_list: > if ' and '.join([item for item in filters]) not in line[2]: > print line What is ‘line’? What is the example input, and what output are you expecting to see, and what output do you see instead? Please construct and present a small and also *complete* example, that we can also run to have a chance of seeing the same behaviour. > The problem I'm having is the for loop isn't filtering out the terms from > the filter list.

Without a complete exampel, and a comparison between what the actual output is versus what you expect to see, I am not able to understand the problem description, especially “not part of the if condition itself”. > Any ideas on How to make this work? Once we can see a complete small example that demonstrates the behaviour, we may have a better chance. -- \ “If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not | `\ aiming high enough.” —Alan Kay | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
