[Tutor] a quick Q: how to use for loop to read a series of files with .doc end

[lina]

import os.path

tokens=['E']
result=[]

for fileName in os.listdir("."):
    if os.path.isfile(fileName) and os.path.splitext(fileName)=="xpm":
        filedata = open(fileName)
        text=filedata.readlines()
        for line in text:


How can I read from line 24 and do further looking for "E".

Thanks,
