How do you read multiple .txt files into R? [duplicate]

by

You can try this:

filelist = list.files(pattern = ".*.txt")

#assuming tab separated values with a header    
datalist = lapply(filelist, function(x)read.table(x, header=T)) 

#assuming the same header/columns for all files
datafr = do.call("rbind", datalist)
