I am wondering if it is possible to read.table repeatedly from a list of file names into a new list of table names.
For example:
filenames <- list.files()
then with a function like
rf <- function(i) { word??(filename[i]) <- read.table(filenames[i]) }
lapply(filenames, read.table)
will do what I think you want to do.
[It is possible to assign each file to a variable whose name is given by another variable, and FAQ 7.21 tells you how, but that probably isn't a good idea.]
