Question

I have 2 files i am trying to put together one has about 300 lines and the other has mabey 85.

I want to have the file with 85 to loop until it adds a line of text onto each of the other files lines.
Here is my code i put together so far

name_file = open("names.txt", "r")
year_file = open("years.txt", "r")
for line in name_file:
    print line.strip()+(year_file.readline())

Here are some examples of what the output looks like when it runs out of numbers

LLOYD1999

TOMMY2000

LEON2001

DEREK2002

WARREN2003

DARRELL2004
JEROME
FLOYD
LEO

I want it to output like this

LLOYD1999
LLOYD2000
LLOYD2001
LLOYD2002
LLOYD2003
LLOYD2004

Answer 1

with open('years.txt') as year:
    years = [yr.strip() for yr in year]
with open('names.txt') as names:
    for name in names:
        name = name.strip()
        for year in years:
            print("%s%s" % (name, year))
