Running a python script on all the files in a directory

Question

I have a Python script that reads through a text csv file and creates a playlist file. However I can only do one at a time, like:

python playlist.py foo.csv          


        

Answer 1

Just use a for loop with the asterisk glob, making sure you quote things appropriately for spaces in filenames

for file in *.csv; do
   python playlist.py "$file" >> outputfile.txt;
done
