How can I read multiple txt file from a single folder in Python?

I tried with the following code but it is not working.

import globimport errnopath = '/home/student/Desktop/thesis/ndtvnews/garbage'files = glob.glob(path)for name in files:try:with open(name) as f:print namefor line in f:print line,f.close()except IOError as exc:if exc.errno != errno.EISDIR:raise

Your glob isn't correct. You should add a /* to the end of your path to select all files (or directories) in your path, and then check if they are files with os.path.isfile. Something like:

from os.path import isfile
files=filter(isfile,glob.glob('%s/*'%path))

You also have an issue with the actual opening. When your with statement ends, the file is closed and f is no longer accessible. Anything you do with the file should be under the with statement. And you shouldn't explicitly close it.
