R help - Mar 2012 - Append to files in loop

Hi ReXperts,

I have a file 'XFile' that I wish to append to the end of file1, file2,
file3, file4, and file 5. Can't figure out how to set up the loop. Please
help.

Thank you,

In your R workspace or not? Will assume this is an R dataframe.
With the same number of columns as the files to be updated? Will  
assume that the number of columns is the same and that you also want  
row.names.
What about separators? Will assume commas for purposes of example.

for (i in c("file1", 'file2', 'file3',
'file4', 'file 5') ){
      write.table( Xfile, file=i, sep="," , colnames=FALSE,
append=TRUE)
      }
