Pass a list of parameters in read.table( )

filepath <- paste0("path")
parameters <- list(header=T,row.names=1,sep="\t",check.names=F,stringsAsFactors=F)
input<- read.table(filepath,parameters)

However, I got a error message says:

Error in !header : invalid argument type

It works fine when the parameters are not put in the list like 

filepath <- paste0("path")
input <- read.table(filepath,header=T,row.names=1,sep="\t",check.names=F,stringsAsFactors=F)

Since I am importing many data and the parameters are the same,I am wondering how I can pass the parameters in the read.table function.

Try do.call. It allows you to provide a list of arguments. Add filepath to the parameters variable:

do.call(read.table, c(filepath, parameters))
