If you want to delete all the blank lines in between and get all the words as a string (also avoid special characters, numbers) then also include:

I encountered this problem today as well. I am using Windows and the system language by default is Chinese. Hence, someone may encounter this Unicode error similarly. Simply add encoding = 'utf-8':

Python is a general-purpose programming language for Web and desktop development. Python works well on both of these platforms because of its flexibility, facilitated by its extensive list of built-in functions. By using the open() function and a simple loop, you can cycle through a list of file names and assign a variable with a reference to that file, storing it for later use.

Create a list of file names. This requires you to enter the file names manually.

filenames = ['file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt']

Create a variable to store the file contents. This variable will store the text of the file for each iteration. 'File_in' is an empty list that can store the contents of each file on each iteration.

file_in = list()

Use a 'for' loop to cycle through each file name in the file name list. This will ensure each file opens and has a reference variable in the 'file_in' list:

x = 0 for item in filenames: . . . file_in[x] = open(item, 'r') . . . x += 1
