I'm trying to combine a long list of data frames to one. every data frame is in a csv file. I tried:

setwd("path") file_names <- dir("path") your_data_frame <- do.call(rbind,lapply(file_names,read.csv))

but I got a data frame with one column. every row is one long list of all its data.

How do your csv files look like? – Val Feb 28 '18 at 13:57

probably an issue of separator – moodymudskipper Feb 28 '18 at 13:58

And typically, when you have an error in a complex line, make it a 2 lines instruction and see which line is problematic. You'd have seen the problem here is not with the `lapply` – moodymudskipper Feb 28 '18 at 13:59
Sounds like the separator is not what you think it is. Perhaps a tab or a semicolon. – IRTFM Feb 28 '18 at 16:04
