[FIXED] Edit multiple text files, and save as new files

Issue

My first post on StackOverflow, so please be nice. In other words, a super beginner to Python.

So I want to read multiple files from a folder, divide the text and save the output as a new file. I currently have figured out this part of the code, but it only works on one file at a time. I have tried googling but can't figure out a way to use this code on multiple text files in a folder and save it as "output" + a number, for each file in the folder. Is this something that's doable?

with open("file_path") as fReader:
 corpus = fReader.read()
loc = corpus.find("\n\n")
print(corpus[:loc], file=open("output.txt","a")) 

Solution

Possibly work with a list, like:

from pathlib import Path

source_dir = Path("./") # path to the directory
files = list(x for x in filePath.iterdir() if x.is_file())

for i in range(len(files)):
    file = Path(files[i])
    outfile = "output_" + str(i) + file.suffix
    with open(file) as fReader, open(outfile, "w") as fOut:
        corpus = fReader.read()
        loc = corpus.find("\n\n")
        fOut.write(corpus[:loc])
    

** sorry for multiple editting....
