No, it turned out to be my mistake. Your code was correct and I
appreciate it very much.
Thank you again

Thank you so much. The code worked perfectly.
This is what I tried using Emile code. The only time when it picked
wrong name from the list was when the file was named like this.

How can I fix this? Hope I am not asking too mu

Hello Emile ,
Thank you for the code below as I have not encountered SequenceMatcher
before and would have to take a look at it closer.
My question would it work for a text file list of names about 25k

Hello Emile ,
Thank you for the code below as I have not encountered SequenceMatcher
before and would have to take a look at it closer.
My question would it work for a text file list of names about 25k
lines and a directory with say 100 files inside?
Thank you once again.

Hello,
What would be the best way to accomplish this task?
I'd do something like:
usernames = """Adler, Jack
Smith, John
Smith, Sally
Stone, Mark""".split('\n')
filenames = """Smith, John - 02-15-75 - business files.doc
Random Data - Adler J
