Hi I want to import around 75 files. Each file has a name and a time and is comma separated. For example some of my file names are Asheville_Dec.txt Asheville_Jan.txt Asheville_Feb.txt Charlotte_Dec.txt Chapelhill_Jan.txt The time months are only Dec Jan and Feb. The locations are different. I have data for these 3 months at 25 cities which I want to import in R I don't want to use read.table 75 times and keep changing names. Is there any way I can keep all the city names in an object and the three months in another object and then use a loop over read.table of location_time.txt I would also like to view them as 75 different data sets in R So the file Asheville_Dec must be in a dataset called Asheville_Dec in R Can this be done.
