See the example in ?source, which does exactly this... or make a package depending on your needs.

I have 50 files in a directory and now, i am importing the files repeatedly (one by one). If there is a way to import all files at a time, it makes much more easy and save times too. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Ram Kumar Basent Wageningen University, the Netherlands [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Exactly what do you mean by "import"? What commands are you using? You can get a list of the files in a directory and then iterate through reading each one in. If you use 'lapply', you can 'read.table' in some data frames and then 'rbind' them into a single data frame. You need to be more specific on the problem you are trying to solve.
