read file problem

[Ernesto]

I'm just want to read in the contents of a (text) file.  The text file
is filled with semiColon delimited floating point strings...

0.456;1.265;99.742;...

For some reason, I can't get the contents back when I call file.read()
 Here's my code.

filePath = "C:\\folder\\myFile.txt
fileHandle = open(filePath, 'r').read();
print fileHandle.read()

# This prints nothing when it should print the above values....  Thanks
for the help
