Question

I have written a piece of a code which is supposed to read the texts inside several files which are located in a directory. These files are basically text files but they do not have any extensions.But my code is not able to read them:

corpus_path = 'Reviews/'

for infile in glob.glob(os.path.join(corpus_path,'*.*')):
    review_file = open(infile,'r').read()
    print review_file

To test if this code works, I put a dummy text file, dummy.txt. which worked because it has extension. But i don’t know what should be done so files without the extensions could be read.
can someone help me? Thanks

Answer 1

Just use * instead of *.*.

The latter requires an extension to be present (more precisely, there needs to be a dot in the filename), the former doesn’t.
