Question

I wish to read incoming XML files that have no specific name (e.g. date/time naming) to extract values and perform particular tasks.
I can step through the files but am having trouble opening them and reading them.

What I have that works is:-

 import os
 path = 'directory/'
 listing = os.listdir(path)
 for infile in listing:
      print infile

But when I add the following to try and read the files it errors saying No such file or directory.

      file = open(infile,'r')

Thank you.

You need to provide the path to file too:

file = open(os.path.join(path,infile),'r')
