You're still missing the file read code.  My earlier assumption that it 
was a simple readlines() was bogus, or the line:
    if "aging" in file-content:

would never work.

Perhaps you have something like:

infile = open("xxxx","r")
file_content = [line.split() for line in infile]

if you confirm it, I'll try to go through the code again, trying to make 
sense of it.
