I am getting the output of the same file repetedly but not of the other files present in the folder . I am unable to figure out what is happening. the code is to read the folder and iterate through all 171 files present in the folder and remove stop words from them .

Answer 1

You can get the text files list by using glob.glob()

import glob

text_files = glob.glob(path + "/**/*.txt", recursive = True)
for file in text_files:
    # Check whether file is in text format or not
    read_text_file(file_path)

Hope it could help.
