Doh...kudos to newbie for pointing that out (serves me right for glancing over the code so quickly)

Not sure I understand. You say "this is the output"...do you mean this is the expected output?

SSCCE's are wonderful things...take this for example. Took less than a minute and shows what you are...

Please define a user input and line you would expect to match which doesn't...or better yet, post an SSCCE where the problem is clearly demonstrated. Nothing looks conspicuous in your code
