fullpath = "/home/andersm/tmp"
filenames <- dir(fullpath,pattern="*")
pair <- sapply(filenames,function(x) {read.table(paste(fullpath,'/',x,sep=""))})
Sorry, untested. But the point is that you can use dir to get all of the filenames specified by pattern from a directory specified by fullpath.

Hi Andreas,
what's about: pair <- list() for (i in 1:8){ name <- paste("pair",i,sep="") pair[[ i ]] <- read.table(paste("/home/andersm/tmp/",name,sep="")) }

I want to do automatic reading of a number of tables (files) stored in
ascii format
without having to specify the variable name in R each time. Below is an
example
of how I would like to use it (I assume files pair1,...,pair8 exist in
spec. dire.)
for (i in 1:8){ name <- paste("pair",i,sep="") ? ? ? <- read.table(paste("/home/andersm/tmp/",name,sep="")) }
after which I want to have pair1,...,pair8 as tables.
But I can not get it right. Anybody having a smart solution?
Best regards, Anders Malmberg
