Hi Anindya,
If you have multiple tables and it is in a folder, you can use: list.files() #I had three files in the working directory #[1] "test1.txt" "test2.txt" "test3.txt" library(data.table) dt1<-rbindlist(lapply(list.files(),function(x) read.table(x,header=FALSE,sep=""))) dt1 # V1 V2 #1: 1 10 #test1.txt #2: 3 5 #3: 0 0 #4: 2 10 #test2.txt #5: 0 0 #6: 3 5 #7: 4 10 #test3.txt #8: 0 0 #9: 3 5 dt2<-subset(dt1[,sum(V2),by=V1],V1!=0) setnames(dt2,2,"V2") dt2 # V1 V2 #1: 1 10 #2: 3 15 #3: 2 10 #4: 4 10 #or dat1<- do.call(rbind,lapply(list.files(),function(x) read.table(x,header=FALSE,sep=""))) res<-aggregate(V2~V1,data=dat1,FUN=sum) res1<- res[res[,1]!=0,] res1 # V1 V2 #2 1 10 #3 2 10 #4 3 15 #5 4 10 Hope this helps.

Now can someone help me in just an expansion. If we have multiple table like this, adding them in rbind is working, but if I want a generic function where we do not know how many tables will be created can that also be avoided from using loops.
