Hi Jim,
            Thanks for your suggestion. I tried scripting but gives me an
error. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong here ?


*> list.files()->org_xml_dirs
> for (i in org_xml_dirs){
+ setwd("/home/anupam/Research/Anupam_data/ORG_XML_FILES/i")}

  Error in setwd("/home/anupam/Research/Anupam_data/ORG_XML_FILES/i") :
  cannot change working directory
