[r] Read all files in a folder and apply a function to each data frame

Here is a tidyverse option that might not the most elegant, but offers some flexibility in terms of what is included in the summary:

library(tidyverse)
dir_path <- '~/path/to/data/directory/'
file_pattern <- 'Df\\.[0-9]\\.csv' # regex pattern to match the file name format

read_dir <- function(dir_path, file_name){
  read_csv(paste0(dir_path, file_name)) %>% 
    mutate(file_name = file_name) %>%                # add the file name as a column              
    gather(variable, value, A:B) %>%                 # convert the data from wide to long
    group_by(file_name, variable) %>% 
    summarize(sum = sum(value, na.rm = TRUE),
              min = min(value, na.rm = TRUE),
              mean = mean(value, na.rm = TRUE),
              median = median(value, na.rm = TRUE),
              max = max(value, na.rm = TRUE))
  }

df_summary <- 
  list.files(dir_path, pattern = file_pattern) %>% 
  map_df(~ read_dir(dir_path, .))

df_summary
# A tibble: 8 x 7
# Groups:   file_name [?]
  file_name variable   sum   min  mean median   max
  <chr>     <chr>    <int> <dbl> <dbl>  <dbl> <dbl>
1 Df.1.csv  A           34     4  5.67    5.5     8
2 Df.1.csv  B           22     1  3.67    3       9
3 Df.2.csv  A           21     1  3.5     3.5     6
4 Df.2.csv  B           16     1  2.67    2.5     5
5 Df.3.csv  A           30     0  5       5      11
6 Df.3.csv  B           43     1  7.17    6.5    15

8 Df.4.csv  B           42     1  7       6      16
