Its generally a good idea in programming to separate separable problems. Since you say: > The issue I'm having is that the *.txt files I'm generating are empty.

So I'm at a loss for where the > problem is. you should probably write and have checked the code that handles one file. For example a function that takes as parameters the two: the input/output files (maybe names or handles), and then - check that that function works for one file - call it in your loop [BTW your code seems to mixup the variable-names for file-names and handles] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
