Hi

I have been all through google looking for an answer to this.

I am trying to read a list of text files as rasters.


>prj_latlong <- "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs "
> list.files(path= "C:/Work/Climate 
> stuff/Original_data/AR4_climate_change_ASCII_grids",pattern="^tas_2040.*a1b.*hadcm3")
> b<-raster(a,crs=prj_latlong)
Error in .rasterObjectFromFile(x, band = band, objecttype = "RasterLayer",  :
  Cannot create a RasterLayer object from this file. (file does not exist)
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In if (x == "" | x == ".") { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
2: In if (start != "http" & start != "ftp") { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
3: In if (fileext %in% c(".GRD", ".GRI")) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
4: In if (!file.exists(x)) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
5: In if (extension(x) == "") { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
6: In if (fileext %in% c(".NC", ".NCDF", ".NETCDF")) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
7: In if (fileext == ".GRD") { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
8: In if (fileext %in% c(".SGRD", ".SDAT")) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
9: In if (nchar(filename) == 0) stop("empty file name") :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
10: In if (!file.exists(x)) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

also if I try this instead I get an error

> hadcm3_40<-lapply(list.files(path= 
> "Original_data/AR4_climate_change_ASCII_grids/",pattern="^tas_2040.*a1b.*hadcm3"),raster,
>  crs=prj_latlong)

Error in .rasterObjectFromFile(x, band = band, objecttype = "RasterLayer",  :

  Cannot create a RasterLayer object from this file. (file does not exist)


But if I do select a single file instead of the list and do this it works
File<- 
raster("Original_data/AR4_climate_change_ASCII_grids/tas_2040a1b_apr_ukmo_hadcm3.txt",
 crs=prj_latlong)

Somehow, it just cant read a list of text files as a list of rasters but can 
read a single one. I am not sure what to do. If I try different functions in 
lapply I get a list of 12 which is what I want (there are 12 files I want to 
read in and make rasters from).

Any help would be great

Thanks
KJ
