Dear R community members



I did find a good way to merge my 200 text data files in to a single data
file with one column added will show indicator for that file.



filelist = list.files(pattern = "K*cd.txt")


I doubt you meant "K*cd.txt" but "^K[[:digit:]]*cd\\.txt$".



# the file names are K1cd.txt
.................to K200cd.txt

data_list<-lapply(filelist, read.table, header=T, comment=";", fill=T)


Replace by:

data_list <- lapply(filelist, function(x)
   cbind(Filename = x, read.table(x, header=T, comment=";", fill=TRUE))


And then:

result <- do.call("rbind", data_list)

This will create list, but this is not what I want.



I want a single dataframe (all separate dataframes have same variable
headings) with additional row for example



; just for example, two small datasets are created by my component datasets
are huge, need automation

;read from file K1cd.txt

var1  var2  var3    var4

1           6         0.3         8

3          4         0.4         9

2          3         0.4         6

1           0.4    0.9          3



;read from file K2cd.txt

var1  var2  var3    var4

1           16         0.6        7

3          14         0.4         6

2         1 3         0.4         5

1          0.6    0.9          2



the output dataframe should look like



Fileno  var1  var2  var3    var4

1              1           6         0.3        8

1              3          4         0.4         9

1              2          3         0.4         6

1              1           0.4      0.9        3

2              1           16       0.6        7

2              3          14         0.4        6

2              2         1 3         0.4        5

2              1          0.6         0.9       2



Please note that new file no column is added



Thank you for the help.
