Hello R users. This is a fairly basic question: I am concatenating data from sets of files in a directory using a loop. The column names in all files are exactly the same. My understanding is that rbind takes column names from the first file it reads. However, my output is showing that the column names are treated as a first data row, not treated as headers. I compile my file names like this:

Thanks to both Weidong and David for the help! By implementing both of your suggestions I was able to make this work. I did end up putting header=TRUE for both read operations. --Kelly ________________________________________ From: David Winsemius [dwinsemius at comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 1:16 PM To: Vining, Kelly Cc: Weidong Gu; r-help at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] column
