When you open your file you should be opening it in append mode using the 'a' flag (right now you're opening it in write mode, 'w').

In order to read the contents of [icode]code.txt[/icode], you'll need to read the [URL="http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.stdin"]stdin pipe[/URL].

If you implement glob you can use unix-style path completion ie [icode]glob.glob('*2009*.txt')[/icode]

Yes. You can use [icode]open[/icode] to open a file and return the file handle. Note that some formats (ie, .doc) are not "flat" text files, meaning they may have some binary data, markup, etc. You'll need to take that into account on a per-file basis.
