Hi,
You can try this:
Here, I am exporting to the working directory:
temp<- list.files(pattern="*.txt")
 temp
#[1] "dt306A009.txt" "dt306A010.txt"
#here added "_new" to distinguish the new files

 lapply(seq_along(res),function(i) write.table(res[[i]],paste0(gsub(".txt","",temp[i]),"_new",".txt"),row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE))

#or write as .csv.
 lapply(seq_along(res),function(i) write.csv(res[[i]],gsub(".txt",".csv",temp[i]),row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE)


A.K.

Hi A.K,

It works so well with all the 110 files. 
However, how can I export the files such that the original names of the input files under 'temp' are exported to my output folder?

I did it using the code you provided:
**********************************************************************************************
apply(seq_along(res),function(i)
  write.table(res[[i]],paste0("file",i,".txt"),row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE))
******************************************************************************************
However, I wish to paste the strings below instead of sequentially numbered 'paste0("file",i,".txt")'
The strings are my inventory to know which rainfall station belongs to which location in space.

Oh! I am so happy about this. Thanks so much A.K. You saved me more than 40 hours of work. All other files are similar. Thanks so much.

Hi
Atem,

I was able to read the file and removed those suffix letters.  The file had a lot of formatting issues.  I don't know about the formatting in your other files.  Also, there were lines  that differ in the number of elements. 

If it is similar to the one you send, you can try this:
  con<- file("dt306A009.txt")
 Lines1<- readLines(con)
 close(con)
 Lines2<- Lines1[-1]
 length(Lines2)
#[1]
1140
library(stringr)
Lines3<-str_split(Lines2,"-9999.99M")
Lines4<- str_trim(unlist(lapply(Lines3,function(x){x[x==""]<-NA;paste(x,collapse=" ")})))
Lines5<-gsub("(\\d+)[A-Za-z]","\\1",Lines4)
res<-read.table(text=Lines5,sep="",header=FALSE,fill=TRUE)
 head(res)

 Hi A.K,

Attached are example files. I have 110 of such and would like to
perform the analysis as described before. I would find T, F, Y, A, C, etc and delete them. The letters are affixed to values in the data just to communicate an idea. As before, find all -9999.99M and replace with NA.

Thanks so much.
Atem.

Hi,
If you wanted to delete "T", "C","A", "F" and "Y" and replace "-999.99M"
with NA, it is possible, but the result would be stored in a list if 
the number of elements deleted from each of the columns are different.   As you didn't provide any reproducible example, I don't know whether equal number of elements are replaced from each columns or not..

set.seed(28)
myfiles<- lapply(1:5,function(i)
as.data.frame(matrix(sample(c(LETTERS,"-999.99M"),40*i,replace=TRUE),ncol=(40*i)/8),stringsAsFactors=FALSE))
res<-lapply(myfiles,function(x){x[x=="-999.99M"]<-NA;lapply(x,function(y) y[!y%in%c("T","C","A","F","Y")])})
res[[1]]
#$V1
#[1] "M" "X" "U" "X"
#
#$V2
#[1] "P" "Z" "S" "R" "Q" "W" "N" "I"
#
#$V3
#[1] "K" "S" NA  "M" "G" "G" "Z"
#
#$V4
#[1] "O" "M" "G" "G" "B" "X" "M"
#
#$V5
#[1] "I" "X" "P" "K" "R"
"K"

Hi A.K,


Thanks for  this great help. I wish to find -999.99M and replace with NA. All others like T, A, F etc should be deleted from the files.





Thanks for much.

Subject: [R] Help Hello, I have a question and need your help
urgently. I am new to R but want to learn it. I have several files in a folder which I have imported to R using :
temp = list.files(pattern="*.txt")
>myfiles = lapply(temp, read.delim)
The resulting files are on the workspace stored as List[110]. So they are 110 files in the list. Each file has several different columns and rows.
My question: I would like to find and replace -999.99M with NA; Find 'T','C','A','F' and 'Y', delete them from all the 110 files.
Then, I want to write.table all
the corrected files back to a folder on my computer.
Thanks for your
help.
