I have multiple .txt files in a folder, and i want to combine all their contents into a single .txt file

How do I go about such an operation in Python?

Answer 1

code :

text_files_in_folder :

output_file :

raw_code :

import glob

outfilename = 'all.txt' #output file name

filenames = glob.glob('*.txt') #filenames of all txt files

with open(outfilename,'w') as outfile: #opening output file
  
for name in filenames:
  
if(name == outfilename): #dont't want to copy the output into the output
continue
  
with open(name,'r') as readfile: #opening input file
outfile.write(readfile.read() + "\n") #writing to output file
