Here's an (untested) idea:
readwrite = function(file,outputdirectory){
dat = read.csv(file)
. . .
write.csv(dat,file =
paste(outputdirectory,sub('\\.csv','.new',file),sep='/'))
}
sapply(list.files('.',pattern='\\.csv$'),readwrite,'/some/location')
It will read all the .csv files in the current directory, and write out
a file with the extension changed to .new in the directory /some/location .

say that I have a script that uses read.csv to read a textfile in a certain
directory, then transforming the data a bit and then spit out a new file in
an output directory.
Is it possible to make this universal so the same procedure is made for all
files in a certain directory and also make it spit out files that changes
names for each file that is made (so the same output.csv is not overwritten
every time the script runs)?
