Looping a function over multiple files

Question

I wrote a simple function:

myfunction <- function(fileName, stringsAsFactors=TRUE,                 
                   check.names=FALSE,

Like @Arun pointed out, you are trying to run your function twice: once on the files and once one the data frames you have created... Instead, your code should look like this:

files <- list.files(pattern = ".txt")
mylist <- lapply(files, myfunction)
