I know that but I do not want to merge them sequentially because I may lose some rows which are present in one file while the other doesn't have. I googled and found something called multmerge but the code is not working for me. I used the following:
path <-"P:/Documents/Puja Desktop items/Documents/RESULTS/est meth results/Final_est_meth_data_rn6/WGBS_exon_sort_CHG/merge_csv" filenames <- list.files(path = path) View(filenames) multmerge = function(path){ filenames=list.files(path=path, full.names=TRUE) datalist = lapply(filenames, function(x){read.csv(file=x,header=T)}) Reduce(function(x,y) {merge(x,y)}, datalist) } full_data = multmerge("~/P:/Documents/Puja Desktop items/Documents/RESULTS/est meth results/Final_est_meth_data_rn6/WGBS_exon_sort_CHG/merge_csv") But after running the full_data, the folder is empty.
