Andy, First of all, thanks for your solution.
When I test your code, it doesn't work. I am not sure if I miss something. Here is the code I tested: flist<-list.files(path = file.path(, "c:\\"),pattern="[.]csv$") csvlist<-lapply(flist, read.csv, header = TRUE) Here is the error: Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file 'test1.csv', reason 'No such file or directory' Thank you so much!
