I have over 1,000 files with the .abs extension (abstracts). I need to read it into R.
Is there a way I can either (i) import .abs files directly into R or (ii) batch convert these files into .txt, then import into R? I have googled but seem to find no answer.
P/S: I am able to open the files to view using notepad, but the file extension is still .abs. The objective is to import into R.
