Open text files consecutively without knowing names [message #85264]

Hello,

I have several folders containing ascii files in each. The filenames within those folders are a grouping of numbers and letters corresponding to year, day, and other instrument characteristics
(e.g 8358d47a.tps, 8358h41a.tps, 8358l35a.tps). Unfortunately there isn't a pattern or order to the filenames beyond the first couple digits which are connecting to the parent directory to easily open the files consecutively.

I want to open each file, read the data, then close and repeat on the next file. Is there a way to loop through the files in each directory without knowing specifically what the filenames are? I'm struggling with how to do this since.

Thank you. Sincerely,
Morgan
