Try something like this:
def process(data):
# this is a function you define to process the data from one file
maxFileIndex = ... # whatever the max count is
for i in range(1, maxFileIndex+1): # i will take on each value
# from 1 to maxFileIndex
name = 'article%s.html' % i # make a file name
f = open(name) # open the file and read its contents
data = f.read()
f.close()
process(data)
