Thank you David!
I've incorporated your parts into my code, and after some fiddling it
worked!
I've kept the glob.glob though because having to type all filenames (as in
your code) would take me too long.

Solved problem:
Add a casenumber to every line in a directory filled with .arff files, write
back to same filename prefixed with TRE_

Code:
import os, glob

fileprefix = 'TRE_'
path = '/bla/example/'
for infile in glob.glob( os.path.join(path, '*.arff') ):
        print "current file is: " + infile
        lines= open(infile).readlines()
        (filepath, filename) = os.path.split(infile)
        outname = ('%s%s'%(fileprefix,filename)) 
        outtext = ['%d %s' % (i, line) for i, line in enumerate(lines)]
        outfile = open(outname, "w")
        outfile.writelines(outtext)
        outfile.close()

Sincerely,
Daan

>>> filename = ['file1','file2','file3']

or with list comp

>>> combined
['TRE_file1', 'TRE_file2', 'TRE_file3']
