Both of strings from userInput and fcon matches, it is still unable to print the "matched" message.

I have tried comparing two strings from input() it work.

userInput = input("First String")

with open("file1", mode ="r") as nameDb:
    fcon = nameDb.readline()

print(type(fcon),fcon)
print(type(userInput), userInput)


if userInput is fcon:
    print("Matched")
else:
    print("No match")

    `is` check is a bad idea. If you are to compare string equality, use `==`. – Austin Mar 22 '20 at 06:19

    Use `==`. But also be careful about the possible new line character coming from your `readline()` call. You might call a `strip()` after that. – Seleme Mar 22 '20 at 06:22

  • You should ask another question instead of editing an exist one if you have anything new to ask. The edition currently done would make everyone confused. – tsh Nov 13 '20 at 01:34

Try it Please, 

userInput = input("First String: ")

with open("file1.txt", "r") as nameDb:
    fcon = nameDb.readline()

if userInput == fcon:
    print("Matched")
else:
    print("NO match")
