Hey, Thanks for the help.it detects now using glob.glob("*.*.txt") Can u suggest how to open and read file this way?
*if glob.glob("*.*.txt"): file=open(glob.glob("*.*.txt")) self.text_view.get_buffer().set_text(file.read()) else: file=open(glob.glob("*.*.html")) self.text_view.get_buffer().set_text(file.read()) * This gives error!!
