[R] select .txt from .txt in a directory

[Sarah Goslee]

How do you decide which ones you need?

Is there some pattern that lets you distinguish needing df.txt from
not needing ds.txt?

You say you "have the names" - how do you have them? In a text file?

What are you trying to do with the text files?
