Re: [R] Reading tables using a truncated name
Hi all, Thanks everyone for your advice. They have been helpful. Just for the record, I am using ... lapply(dir(path = filePath, pattern = "^test_"), function(x){read.table(file = paste(filePath, x, sep = ""), sep = ",", header = TRUE) } ) to load the files kind regards Chibisi On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 5:13 PM, Henrique Dallazuanna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Try this: > > sapply(dir(patt="^test_"), read.table, sep = ";", header = TRUE) > > On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 3:06 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Dear all, >> >> I am trying to read a bunch of csv files using read.table() that are named >> "test_xx.csv" where "xx" has no particular pattern.

[R] Reading tables using a truncated name
Dear all, I am trying to read a bunch of csv files using read.table() that are named "test_xx.csv" where "xx" has no particular pattern. Is there a way of reading all the files by specifying a truncated file name e.g. "test_" with some wild card characters, or would I have to laboriously create some vector with the "xx" names and iterate or lapply() over it?
