[R] importing multiple file form folder

[Rui Barradas]

I believe my already posted solution works.
I've just tried it with your examples.

url <- 
c("http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4631640/channel_1_20120509_153744_00001.ddf",
     
"http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4631640/channel_1_20120509_154744_00001.ddf")

flist <- url

And the rest is exactly the same. But, ok, I'll post it again.

Length <- read.table(flist[1], skip=26)[, 1]
Temp <- do.call(cbind, lapply(flist, function(x) read.table(x, 
skip=26)[, 2]))
colnames(Temp) <- paste("Temperature", seq_len(ncol(Temp)), sep=".")
result <- cbind(Length=Length, Temp)

head(result)
        Length Temperature.1 Temperature.2
[1,] -747.200       325.138       800.000
[2,] -746.185        18.874      -200.000
[3,] -745.171       488.420       800.000
[4,] -744.156        69.484       -78.434
[5,] -743.142       -70.252       129.180
[6,] -742.127      -200.000      -200.000

Line 763 on? I'm off by 737...

If you ask for help, read the answers, please, the second file changed 
nothing.
(Nor it hurts to check what was posted before.)
