Error: Object "filename" not found
and I understand why the error but cann't find a way
to fix it.

You don't need a loop:


filename <- sub("([^.]+)(\\..+)", "\\1", dir("c:/data/"))

PS: Just to get your loop working (you don't want to do it that way!):


 filename <- NULL
 for (i in dir("c:/data/")){
     filename <- c(filename,sub("([^.]+)(\\..+)","\\1", i))
