The following code first creates a list of all the files in a folder called films, then attempts to access the contents of a specific file. I know how to do this if the file's name is a literal, but can someone please explain how this can be done if the name of the file or the directory is a variable?
path = 'films'
from os import walk
f = []
for (filenames) in walk(path):
f.extend(filenames)
break
listoffiles = f[2]
print("listoffiles: ",listoffiles)
read = open('films/{listoffiles[0]}',"r")
print("read: ",str(read.read()))
