You're somewhat light on details, so I can only guess at an appropriate
answer for your case.  One possibility is to use FileNames[] to get a
list of files.  Create a function which takes a single filename as its
argument, and apply it to the list.  For example:

myFiles = FileNames[];
myFunc[file_] := (tmp = Import[file,"Text"]; Print[file,"\n",tmp])
myFunc /@ myFiles;
