Hello everybody I have the following problem. I have to load a number of xls files from different folders (each xls file has the same number of columns, and different numbers of rows). Each xls file is named with a number, i.e. 12345.xls and is contained in a folder with same name, say 12345)
Once loaded, I want to rbind all of them to obtain a single database. I think I successfully did the first part, using "assign": for (i in lista_rea_c){ name=paste("reaNum",i,sep="",collapse=NULL) assign(name,read.xlsx(file=paste(path,i,"/",i,".xls",sep="",collapse=NULL),1,header=TRUE,as.data.frame=TRUE)) } where lista_rea_c contains the "numbers" and is obtained as: lista_rea_c = list.files(path = "/Users/mario/Dropbox/..., and path is defined elsewhere At this point I have a number of variables, names as "reaNum12345" ecc. I would like to rbind all of them, but what I get is that I rbind "reaNum12345", i.e. the variable name and not the data it contains. Can anyone help? thanks!
