Hi Hth -- Gerrit , I found the problem I added "sep" and one bracket was missing the new codes are as follows setwd("/Groups/data_first/") file_was <- list.files(path = ".", pattern = "v2.0.2.was", all.files = FALSE, full.names = FALSE, recursive = FALSE, ignore.case = FALSE) path<-c("/Groups/data_second/") file_wasaux2 <-list.files(path,pattern="v2.0.2.wasaux2") files<- 1 for ( i in files){ data1 <- read.table(file_was[i],header=TRUE) data2 <- read.table(paste(path, file_wasaux2[i],sep=""),header=TRUE) data <- cbind (data1,data2)
} data Cheers Uday -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/reading-files-from-two-folders-tp4511493p4511809.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
