Yes, it is possible. Have you made an attempt? Do you have some working or non-working code? The Python tutorials will help as will the online documentation How to get a list of files: http://docs.python.org/library/glob.html How to read/write a file: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files Hopefully that will give you a start.
