Dear Ted, Try this: # Working directory -- files are located here setwd("C:\\200209")
# Names of the files Files<-c( paste("BA02090",c(2:6,9),".txt",sep=""), paste("BA0209",c(10:13,16:20,23:27,30),".txt",sep=""), "GMAS0209.txt","MAST0209.txt" ) Files # Reading the files into R Reads<-sapply(Files,function(x) read.table(x,header=TRUE)) # you can change this ;) Reads Note that "Reads" will be a list which each component represents one of the ".txt" files listed in "Files". See ?setwd, ?sapply, ?paste and ?read.table for more details.
