How can I compare the content of two files in Python

0 votes
I have two text files, and I wish to compare the content of both of them. Need to check ip in Unique.txt is present or not in CheckIp.txt. Can someone help me out?  My code looks like:

[code]

with open("/root/nix_bsd_mac_inventory-master/Unique.txt") as fp:
    for line in fp:
        print(line)
        with open("/root/nix_bsd_mac_inventory-master/CheckIp.txt") as fp1:
            for line1 in fp1:
                line1 = line1.rstrip()
                if line == line1:
                    print (line1 + "Ip is Already Present")
                else:
                    print ("Processing Ip:"+ line)

[/code]

Assuming that your file unique.txt just contains the IP you're looking for.

f1 = open('CheckIp.txt', 'r')
data= ''.join(f1.readlines())
f2 = open('Unique.txt','r')
toFind = f2.readline()
if data.find(toFind) != -1:
    print("ip "+toFind+" found!")
else:
    print("ip "+toFind+" not found!")
