Hi,

I have around 300 files with the x, y and z coordinates of a DEM that I 
would like to join in a single data frame object. I know how to automate the 
import of the 300 data frames.

in Bash
ls > names

in R
names<-scan(names...)
With rep() and data.frame() construct a series of read.table() commands, 
which you write to a file and execute them with source().

I do not know however how to automate the combination of the e.g. x vectors 
from all imported data frames in a single vector avoiding the manual writing 
of all the imported data frame names.

Thanks in advance, Miha
