Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References Examples

Combines multiple csv files into one data frame

1	multmerge(mypath, fileEncoding = "")

`mypath`	the path where the csv files live. NOTE: only csv files can be in the path called
`fileEncoding`	This follows the same rules as the fileEncoding argument in read.csv. Added in because this was needed for a project

multmerge("./data/")
  this will return a data frame of all the csv files in the path in one frame.

## The function is currently defined as
function (mypath, fileEncoding)
{
  filenames=list.files(path=mypath, full.names=TRUE)
  datalist = lapply(filenames,
                    function(x){read.csv(file=x,
                                         header=T,
                                         fileEncoding = fileEncoding)})
  Reduce(function(x,y) {rbind(x,y)}, datalist)
  }
