Do you mean that you have one file where the data is ordered by
group? If so, using scan and a loop is an easy option. If you have
the data in separate files by group, just make a character vector
with your filenames as elements and use a loop to read the data using
read.table at each iteration. Or if they all have similar names such
as group1.txt, group2.txt, etc. you could construct the filenames on
the fly using paste.
HTH,
Simon.
