[R] handling multiple files; was: R advice

[Uwe Ligges]

Handling multiple files automatically is easy in R and has been answered 
several times on this list: please pok up the archives as suggested in 
the posting guide to this list which also asks you to use a sensible 
subject line.
Additionally, there is a FAQ entry called "How can I save the result of 
each iteration in a loop into a separate file?". I am sure you can adapt 
it to read files as well.
