clip line segments

Question

I have 3 line features A, B, C and would like to find where line feature C is the same as line feature A and where line feature C is the same as line feature B.

There are instances where line feature C has portions of both A and B.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks to all.

Is it possible that your overlapping lines do not overlap exactly? Could you create a small buffer and then run the intersect tool with the buffer? I think that's what I usually do when I need to clip lines with lines.

Alternatively.. I had a similar task once and just asked Claude ai to write me an arcpy python tool and it worked

Pairwise Intersect only returns a small number of the sites.

I'm not sure if what I want is possible.  Lines don't seem to want to clip lines based on lines.

3 separate feature classes.

none of the pairwise tools is the solution, at least as I've tried them.
