list.files() will return the files in your current directory and you can use
that in a 'for' statement to loop through processing:
for (fileName in list.files()){
input <- read.table(fileName,)
}

Hi Henrique, Daniel and Jim, and rest of the list. Your comments have
been really useful. Daniel, you mention whether I am looping over some
files stored in a directory. Is that actually doable with R? I mean,
is it possible to read all the files in the same directory and run my
script thro

Hi list,
Is it possible to save the name of a filename automatically when
reading it using read.table() or some other function?
My aim is to create then an output table with the name of the original
table with a suffix like _out
example:
mydata = read.table("Run
You can write your own function, something about like this:
read.table2 <- function(file, ...)
{
x <- read.table(file, ...)
attributes(x)[["file_name"]] <- file
return(x)
}
mydata <- read.table2("Run224_v2_060308.txt", sep = "\t", header = TRUE)
myfile <- attr(x, "file_name")

well, where are you getting the filename in the first place? are you
looping over a list of filenames that comes from somewhere?
generally, for concatenating strings, look at function 'paste':
write.table(myoutput, paste(myfilename,"_out.txt", sep=''),sep="\t")
