a simple 'for' question

[Ben Keshet]

it didn't help.  it reads the pathway "as is" (see errors for both 
tries).  It looks like it had the write pathway the first time, but 
could not find it because it searched in the path/way instead of in the 
path\way.  thanks for trying.

folders= ['1','2','3']
for x in folders:
    print x     # print the current folder
    filename='Folder/%s/myfile.txt' %[x]
    f=open(filename,'r')

gives: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
"Folder/['1']/myfile.txt"
