Madana, The code below may work (untested though):
#above is the same as you wrote require(multicore) read.data.exmple <- function(f) { dat <- read.csv(f, header=FALSE, sep="\t", na.strings="",dec=".", strip.white=TRUE, fill=TRUE) data_1 <- sqldf("SELECT V2, V14, MIN(V16) FROM dat WHERE V6=104 GROUP BY V2, V14") data_1 } DF <- mclapply(a, read.data.example) #you can check the components of DF by DF[[1]], DF[[2]] ..., which is a bit different from rbind #feel free to add more arguments to function read.data.example and add those to mclapply accordingly Hope this helps.
