* 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 * [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
