Dear all,
I am trying to analyze Methylation data of cancer patients and compare them with normal samples.
Since the size of methylation data was so huge, I decided to download the entire data as .tar.gz instead of using "GDCdownload" function available in TCGABiolinks.
However I cannot find out how should I read the large number of .txt methylation files after extraction.
Any advice is appreciated

Open a single TXT file and then find out which column(s) that you need to retain. Then, perform the following:
Hi Kevin,
Happy new year 2019. Wishing you a prosperous year.
Thank you for your comment.
I will merge the files as you suggest me and let you know the results
Hello Nazanin, I know this is an old post but would you be able to share the script you used to accomplish this?
