rbind all given columns within a list

问题

I am reading a variable number of .csv files, all contained in the present working directory, into a list, and would like to rbind the 2nd column of each of these .csv files.

The files in the working directory look like this:

150601_0001.csv
150601_0002.csv
150601_0003.csv
etc.

I have the following code to read them all into a list for any given number of files in the directory: (code comes from here)

myfiles <- dir(pattern = "\\.(csv|CSV)$", full.names = TRUE) # get filenames and paths
myfiles_data <- lapply(myfiles, data.table::fread) # read data from files, quickly
head(myfiles_data[[1]]) # validate file reading
names(myfiles_data) <- myfiles # assign names to list items

This works perfectly fine so far, and I get all the data into a pretty list:

> myfiles_data
$`./150601_0001.csv`
       X     Y Z
  1:   1 67.81 1
  2:   2 68.52 1
  3:   3 69.66 1
 ---            
250: 250 50.02 1
251: 251 50.58 1
252: 252 51.16 1

$`./150601_0002.csv`
       X     Y Z
  1:   1 70.77 2
  2:   2 70.54 2
  3:   3 70.47 2
 ---            
250: 250 51.00 2
251: 251 51.17 2
252: 252 51.43 2

$`./150601_0003.csv`
       X     Y Z
  1:   1 68.32 3
  2:   2 67.80 3
  3:   3 67.33 3
 ---            
250: 250 50.58 3
251: 251 50.68 3
252: 252 50.77 3

Now I want to rbind on the second column of each data set. The following code gives me a list with only the second columns (data was abbreviated for visual purposes):

> lapply(myfiles_data, `[[`, 2)
$`./150601_0001.csv`
  [1] 67.81 68.52 69.66 ...
  ...
[241] ... 52.85 51.85 50.90

$`./150601_0002.csv`
  [1] 70.77  70.54  70.47 ...
  ...
[241] ... 51.00  51.17  51.43

$`./150601_0003.csv`
  [1] 68.32 67.80 67.33 ...
  ...
[241] ... 50.58 50.68 50.77

How may I apply rbind() to all of these in one shot?

Dont have reputation to add a comment so adding an answer

try this to rbind all data into one dataframe

Output<-do.call(rbind, list)

回答2:

How about

unlist(lapply(myfiles_data, `[[`, 2))
