Hi Henrique, Daniel and Jim, and rest of the list. Your comments have
been really useful. Daniel, you mention whether I am looping over some
files stored in a directory. Is that actually doable with R? I mean,
is it possible to read all the files in the same directory and run my
script through them?
Regards,
David

well, where are you getting the filename in the first place? are you
looping over a list of filenames that comes from somewhere?
generally, for concatenating strings, look at function 'paste':
write.table(myoutput, paste(myfilename,"_out.txt", sep=''),sep="\t")

Hi list,
Is it possible to save the name of a filename automatically when
reading it using read.table() or some other function?
My aim is to create then an output table with the name of the
original table with a suffix like _out
example:
mydata = read.table("Run224_v2_060308.txt", sep = "\t", header = TRUE)
## store name?
myfile = the_name_of_the_file
## do analysis of data and store in a data.frame "myoutput"
## write output in tab format
write.table(myoutput, c(myfile,"_out.txt"),sep="\t")
the name of the new file will be
"Run224_v2_060308_out.txt"
Thanks in advanve,
David
