Hi all, I my c: drive I have possibly 1,000 notepad files, with .txt extension. They are named as the dates on which they were saved i.e. 1st file name is "Volume_4-18-2008", 2nd one is "Volume_4-21-2008", 3rd one "Volume_4-22-2008" and so on............
Also, content of each file are in same format like : ******** content of 1st file ************* section : 1 ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- section : 2 ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- section : 3 ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- section : 4 ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- ----- --------- ---------- ----------- Here all files have 4-sections, just like shown here but contents within each section (i.e. dashed line here) differs file to file. What I have to do is I have to fetch contents of "section : 2" from each file and then save it to a R-object, matrix of list for further analysis. Can you ppl please tell me how to do that?
