Hi Everybody I have this problem for which I have to write a code - 1. There is a directory that contains around 30,000 text files. 2. I wish to read each one of them and extract some information. Now, Flatten[Table[FileNames[]]] will give me all the file names in a table. So, An array variable with the subscript that contains the loop counter will give me the filenames one by one. The question is, how do I pass the array variable as a String argument to functions like - FindList[] ReadList[] and other text file manipulation commands? If anybody can shed some light on this, I would be very thankful. With best regards Venkatesh
