I am currently reading in a series of files, applying the same functions to
them one at a time, and then merging the resulting data frames e.g.:

>MyRows <- c("RowA", "RowB", "RowC")>>File1_DF <- 
>read.delim("\\\\DirectoryToFiles\\File1_Folder\\File1.txt", 
>stringsAsFactors=FALSE, check.names=FALSE)>File1_DF <- 
>as.data.frame(t(File1_DF[MyRows,]))>File1_DF <- 
>as.data.frame(t(File1_DF))>mergeDF <- merge(mergeDF,File1_DF, by.x = 
>"Row.names", by.y="row.names")>>File2_DF <- 
>read.delim("\\\\DirectoryToFiles\\File2_Folder\\File2.txt", 
>stringsAsFactors=FALSE, check.names=FALSE)>File2_DF <- 
>as.data.frame(t(File2_DF[MyRows,]))>File2_DF <- 
>as.data.frame(t(File2_DF))>mergeDF <- merge(mergeDF,File2_DF, by.x = 
>"Row.names", by.y="row.names")

...etc

I want to know if I can use a list of the filenames c("File1", "File2",
"File2") etc. and apply a function to do this in a more automated fasion?
This would involve using the list value in the directory path to read in
the file i.e.

>*MyFilesValue*_DF <- 
>read.delim("\\\\DirectoryToFolders\\*MyFilesValue*_Folder\\*MyFilesValue*.txt",
> stringsAsFactors=FALSE, check.names=FALSE)

Any help appreciated
