Read all files containing specific word in R
I have 10 files in a folder named:
data_2008.txt
...
data_2017.txt
Instead of reading the data like this:
read.table(myfolder\data_2008.txt)
...
read.table(myfolder\data_2017.txt)
Is there a smart way where I can read all the files containing the name "data_" in R?

Untested code
fileList <- list.files(path="myFolder", pattern="data_\\d{4}\\.txt")
tableList <- lapply(fileList, read.table)
