Hi stackoverflow community,

Situation,

CodePudding user response：

with open("file_path",'r') as file_content:
    content=file_content.read()
content=content.split('\n')

You can read the data of the file using the method above, Then covert the data of file into a list(or any other iteratable data type) so that we can use it with for loop.I used content=content.split('\n') to split the data of content by '\n' (Every time you press enter key, a new line character '\n' is sended), you can use any other character to split.

for i in content:
   # the code you want to execute

By looking at your situation, I guess this is what you want (to only convert certain file in a directory), in which you don't need an extra '.txt' file to process:

import os

for f in os.listdir(path):
    if f.startswith("Prelim") and f.endswith(".doc"):
        convert(f)

But if for some reason you want to stick with the ".txt" processing, this may help:

with open("list.txt") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        convert(line)
