[R] Automating R for multiple data files

[Adam Tee]

Hi,

I'm new to R and have looked at the mail archives and not
seen a solution to my problem.

I have a set of data files with filenames in the following form
haydn1stmvt.jtf.sim0.142292.et.dist, where the latter half
changes, after the jtf.

What I am trying to do is process the set of these files using
R's batch mode. using the following :

library(mva)

mdsdata <- read.table(file)
cm <- cmdscale(mdsdata)
x <- cm[,1]
y <- -cm[,2]

postscript("file.eps", height=5, width=5)
plot(x,y,type="n", main="classical MDS")
text(x,y,names(mdsdata))
dev.off()

I want the variable file to contain the relevant file name with
having to input it manually for each file. Is there an easy solution to 
this ??


Thanks
