character vector as input to function?
Well, somebody else will probably respond, but for example: paca:ben> cat >~/R/test 1 2 3 4
doit <- function(filename) {
+ path <- "~/R/" + x <- scan(paste(path,filename,sep="")) + mean(x) + }
doit("test")
Read 4 items [1] 2.5

I would like to have a function that inputs a file name, then reads that
data file and does various stuff to it.
Something like:
doit<-function(filename)
{
x<-scan("~/rstuff/data/"filename)
#for example, if filename is a0.dat, it will scan("~/rstuff/data/a0.dat")
...
}
Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks for any help!
