readIn: Batch read multiple csv files to list

In eliotmiller/labAnalysis: Utility functions for UMSL Plant Biology

Description

Read in all the files from a given directory and save each to a different element of a list.

Usage

  readIn(path, row.names = TRUE)

Arguments

path	The path of the directory containing the files to be read
row.names	Do the files to be read in have row names? Default is yes. If not, set this argument to FALSE.

Details

This function reads in all the files from a given directory and stores each as a separate element in a list. The names of the original files do not matter, but the function assumes all to be comma-delimited files with the row names stored in the first column and with each column having a name. Can modify this in the future if others find it useful.

Value

A list with each file stored as a separate element.
