batch process file in R
If these are the only files in the directory, then you might try...
(File paths will need to change if the folder "200209" isn't in the
working directory)
fpath <- "./200209"
a <- list.files(fpath)
for(i in 1:length(a)){
assign(paste("y",i,sep=""),read.table(paste(fpath,a[i],sep="/")))
}
Another option is to put them in a list...
for(i in 1:length(a)){
y[[i]] <- read.table(paste(fpath,a[i],sep="/")
}
or with lapply...
y <- lapply(1:length(a), function(i) read.table(paste(fpath,a
[i],sep="/"))
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Derek

Dear R experts,
I have a folder names "200209" and in this folder there are many data files,
such as:
"BA020902.txt","BA020903.txt","BA020904.txt",
"BA020905.txt","BA020906.txt","BA020909.txt",
"BA020910.txt","BA020911.txt","BA020912.txt",
"BA020913.txt","BA020916.txt","BA020917.txt",
"BA020918.txt","BA020919.txt","BA020920.txt",
"BA020923.txt","BA020924.txt","BA020925.txt",
"BA020926.txt","BA020927.txt","BA020930.txt",
"GMAS0209.txt","MAST0209.txt"
I want to imort all these data files into R at once without typing tedious
a<-read.table("BA020902.txt"),
b<-read.table("BA020903.txt").....
Thanks
Ted
