Reading names of multiple .txt files from a folder in python

Question

Is there a way to read the names of multiple .txt files from a single folder? I right now am only able to read the contents of the files.

import glob
import errno
path = 'C:/Users/rabhi/Desktop/NLP/aclImdb/test/neg/*.txt'
files = glob.glob(path)
for name in files:
    try:
        with open(name) as f:
            for line in f:
                print(line.split())
    except IOError as exc: 
        if exc.errno != errno.EISDIR:
            raise

You can use os.walk() for this:

import os
def main():
    for dirName, subDirList, fileList in os.walk('path'):
        for subDir in subDirList:
            for file in fileList:
                #Do something with file
main()

This recursively goes through your files in a given directory. To ignore sub-directories you can try something like this:

import os
def main():
    for dirName, subDirList, fileList in os.walk('path'):
        for file in fileList:
            #Do something with file
main()
