Thanks again - and one follow-up question. When I do do.call(rbind, lapply(dir(patt = "\\.csv$"), read.csv)) What is the right way to speicify (probably under "patt") that I only need to grab those .csv files that contain a certain string, e.g., "result"? I tried a couple of things, like patt= "\\.csv$" & pat = "result" - but it does not seem to work Thanks a lot! Dimitri
