Combining multiple files in with tidyverse

[rosinabede]

How do I combine multiple files in R and save them?

What kind of files and what do you mean by "combine?" Can you give a simple example of what your inputs and output should be.

Thanks startz, for responding to my message.
I am trying to join about 12 separate csv files into one data frame in RStudio to be able to analyze it. I am kind of new in this field so still trying to find the right terms to describe stuff.

Using `purrr` to read multiple files

I do exactly this with NetCDF files (which, as of version 4, are acutally interoperable with HDF5 files) library(tidyverse) library(rhdf5) # first, here's our extractor function. you can use it anonymously # inside map_dfr; i'm separating it out here for clarity (and so you # can reuse it). the extractor needs to accept a filename and # return a data frame. hdf5_extractor = function(fname) { data = h5read(file = fname, name = "data") # what you do here depends on how objects inside # the file are structured. if they're just vectors, you can # create and return a data frame like this: return(data_frame( data$SCC_Follow_Info, data$something_else, data$a…
