Re: How to read all files in a directory

[Hung Vo]

Hello Larry,

 

Thanks a lot for your response. It helps me a lot.

 

I used your suggestion and got an error:

    path=r'C:\datafiles\'
                                ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

Then, I changed just a little bit and it works fine.

I set path='C:\\datafiles\\' instead of path=r'C:\datafiles\'

Again Larry, I appreciate your suggestion
