Trying to merge multiple csv files in R

Question

I\'m attempting to merge multiple csv files using R. all of the CSV files have the same fields and are all a shared folder only containing these CSV files. I\'ve attempted

Answer 1

Another option that has proved to work for my setup:

multmerge = function(path){
  filenames=list.files(path=path, full.names=TRUE)
  rbindlist(lapply(filenames, fread))
}


path <- "Dropbox/rstudio-share/dataset/MB"
DF <- multmerge(path)

If you need a much granular control of your CSV file during the loading process you can change the fread by a function like so:

multmerge = function(path){
  filenames=list.files(path=path, full.names=TRUE)
  rbindlist(lapply(filenames, function(x){read.csv(x, stringsAsFactors = F, sep=';')}))
}
