Hi Mark,
If you have a function that, for a given file name, returns the data
in the way you want, then you can use 'dir' or 'paste' to generate a
list of names, which you can read in in one go with apply:
my_read <- function(filename)
{
...
}
filenames <- dir(directory,pattern)
filenames <- paste(...)
data <- apply(filenames, my_read)
Hope it helps,
Tsjerk
