I'm trying to import data from 100 text files and create data frames that reflect their numbering.
The slow way would be to do the following: peak1 <- read.table("1--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE) peak2 <- read.table("2--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE) peak3 <- read.table("3--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE) ... I tried the following: for (i in 1:100) { peak[[i]] <- read.table(paste(i,"--one--hist.txt", sep=""), sep=",", header=TRUE) } I receive an error saying "object 'peak' not found, which leads me to believe R is trying to look in 'peak' at to whatever position 'i' has iterated. How can I create these data frame objects with the numbering to match the input text files? That is to match the iterated 'i' of the loop?
