Creating a vector in R

Question

I am trying to create a vector from a list of file names in my current directory.

Say there are files, "a.txt", "b.txt", "c.txt", "D.txt" in the directory, I want to create a vector V with ("a", "b", "c", "D").

myFiles <- c("a.txt", "b.txt", "c.txt", "D.txt")

How could I achieve this in R?

@Sotos revise it to what? Seems pretty self explanatory to me. — mtoto, Mar 08 '16 at 13:55
@mtoto I don't think it matters whether it's clear or not. Once a structure for questions is established from the community then I think all the questions shjould follow that structure regardless how simple they are. IMHO — Sotos, Mar 08 '16 at 13:58

We could try

V <- gsub('\\..*', '', list.files())
