Open file by filename wildcard

import os
import re
path = "/home/mypath"
for filename in os.listdir(path):
    if re.match("text\d+.txt", filename):
        with open(os.path.join(path, filename), 'r') as f:
            for line in f:
                print line,

Although you ignored my perfectly fine solution, here you go:

import glob
path = "/home/mydir/*.txt"
for filename in glob.glob(path):
    with open(filename, 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            print line,
