    <p>I have created this search and replace program. But I want to make changes to it, so I can do a search and replace for multiple files at once. Now, is there a way so I have the option to select multiple files at once from any folder or directory that I choose.</p> <p>The code that helps me to select files using file dialog window is given below, but is giving errors. can you help me to correct it? The FULL traceback error is :</p> <pre><code>Traceback &lt;most recent call last&gt;: File "replace.py", line 24, in &lt;module&gt; main() File "replace.py", line 10, in main file = tkFileDialog.askopenfiles(parent=root,mode='r',title='Choose a file') File "d:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\tkFileDialog.py",line 163, in askopenfiles ofiles.append(open(filename,mode)) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E' </code></pre> <p>And here's the code: I finally got this code to work I changed 'file' to 'filez' and 'askopenfiles' to askopenfilenames'. and I was able to replace the word in my chosen file. the only thing is that it doesnt work when I choose 2 files. maybe I should add in a loop for it to work for multiple files. But, this was a kind of trial and error and I want to be able to really know why it worked. Is there a book or something that will help me to fully understand this tkinter and file dialog thing? anyways, I have changed the code below to show the working code now:</p> <pre><code>#replace.py import string def main(): #import tkFileDialog #import re #ff = tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames() #filez = re.findall('{(.*?)}', ff) import Tkinter,tkFileDialog root = Tkinter.Tk() filez = tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames(parent=root,mode='r',title='Choose a file') #filez = raw_input("which files do you want processed?") f=open(filez,"r") data=f.read() w1=raw_input("what do you want to replace?") w2= raw_input("what do you want to replace with?") print data data=data.replace(w1,w2) print data f=open(filez,"w") f.write(data) f.close() main() </code></pre> <p>EDIT: One of the replies below gave me an idea about file dialog window and now I am able to select multiple files using a tkinter window, but I am not able to go ahead with the replacing. it's giving errors. I tried out different ways to use file dialog and the different ways are giving different errors. Instead of deleting one of the ways, I have just put a hash sign in front so as to make it a comment, so you guys are able to take a look and see which one would be better.</p>

    1. COYou should really post the section of code that is giving you the errors with the fileDialogBox. Also, you should post the errors themselves. And since that would technically be a different question, you should turn that into a new post

    2. COseems like you were writing this comment, while I was adding the details you wanted. I had thought of making a new post, but then I thought people will downvote or block this question because it's a duplicate or something like that.

    3. COThis question was about selecting multiple files. Then answer was "use tkFileDialog". The question you now have is "how do I get results out of tkFileDialog correctly?". Realistically, you could turn it into another post, but it does stand a chance of being closed, for it is not asked correctly, the first comments would include "have you looked at the documentation? what did you not understand from there?"

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
