python - How to compare the attributes start with $ in 2 functions and display match or mismatch -

my input file contain attributes

        if(match($option_enabledetails, "1") or match($option_enabledetails_juniper,     "1")) {             details($junifilexferstatus,$junifilexfertimestamp,$junifilexferindex)         }         @extendedattr = nvp_add(@extendedattr, "junifilexferstatus",      $junifilexferstatus, "junifilexfertimestamp", $junifilexfertimestamp,    "junifilexferindex",  $junifilexferindex) 

i got lot of cases in input file, how can compare instances start $ in details , instances start $ in nvp_add here?

if understand correctly it
