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

[lina]

mport os.path

tokens=['E']
result=[]

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

why here I print nothing out?

There is .xpm file there with content.

Thanks,
