Hi, I'm not particularly interested in opening unsolicited binary attachments.
Why don't you use dput() to provide part of your data to the R-help list (copied on this email; emailing just me not being that useful). You still haven't told us what you want to do with the named text files - read them into R? In general, you would read the file with the list of names into R, then use a loop or a *apply construct to import each of those named files. Based on what you've said, the fact that your desired list has only 100 of the 300 total files is a red herring.
