How to read text from all files in Python?

Question

Python

I have the following program code

from os import listdir

fileNames = listdir(r'C:\Users\sha\Desktop\27')
handleWrite = open(r'C:\Users\sha\Desktop\27\fileResult\Result.txt', 'w')
number = 0
for cycle in fileNames:
    q = fileNames[number]
    handle = open(r'C:\Users\sha\Desktop\27\{}'.format(q), 'r')
    data = handle.read(768)
    dataResult = data[755:768]
    print(dataResult)
    handle.close()
    handleWrite.write('{}\n'.format(dataResult))
    number +=1
handleWrite.close()

But for some reason it opens only the first 24 files, and then an error pops up

spoiler

Can anyone suggest what could be wrong?

try encoding file = open(filename, encoding="utf8")
