Run code on specific files in a directory separately (by the name of file)

I have N files in the same folder with different index numbers like

Fe_1Sec_1_.txt
Fe_1Sec_2_.txt
Fe_1Sec_3_.txt

Fe_2Sec_1_.txt
Fe_2Sec_2_.txt
Fe_2Sec_3_.txt
.
.
.
and so on


Ex: If I need to run my code with only the files with time = 1 Sec, I can make it manually as follow:

path = "input/*_1Sec_*.txt"
files = glob.glob(path)
print(files)


which gave me:

Out[103]: ['input\Fe_1Sec_1_.txt', 'input\Fe_1Sec_2_.txt', 'input\Fe_1Sec_3_.txt']


In case of I need to run my code for all files separately (depending on the measurement time in seconds, i.e. the name of file)

I tried this code to get the path for each time of measurement:

time = 0
while time < 4:
time += 1
t = str(time)
path = ('"input/*_'+t+'Sec_*.txt"')


which gives me:

"input/*_1Sec_*.txt"
"input/*_2Sec_*.txt"
"input/*_3Sec_*.txt"
"input/*_4Sec_*.txt"


After that I tried to use this path as follow:

files = glob.glob(path)
print(files)


But it doesn't import the wanted files and give me :

"input/*_1Sec_*.txt"

"input/*_2Sec_*.txt"

"input/*_3Sec_*.txt"

"input/*_4Sec_*.txt"



Any suggestions, please??

I think the best way would be to simply do

for time in range(1, 5): # 1,2,3,4
glob_path = 'input/*_Sec_*.txt'.format(time)
for file_path in glob.glob(glob_path):
do_something(file_path, measurement) # or whatever
