You only sent the message yesterday!!! (then again a few hours ago,
and *again* just now)

rather than hard code what you are doing, create a function that takes
a data file and outputs the type of data you want.  Then just:

lapply(c("file1", "file2", etc.), yourfunction)

will create a list of all the output.
