Well, it's probably not that laborious; the example use a slightly different pattern from your's for testing. It's anyway a good idea to factor out the processing of the file, so you end up with: datafiles = dir(patter="nwu(.*).dat") for(datafile in datafiles) processFile(datafile) Dieter ______________________________________________ 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.
