I think the issue is (from the help page) Usage: load(file, envir = parent.frame()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Arguments: file: a (readable binary) connection or a character string giving the name of the file to load. envir: the environment where the data should be loaded. and so they were not loaded into .GlobalEnv. Try lapply(filelist, load, envir=.GlobalEnv) which works for me. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Eiger > > Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 1:00 PM > > To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > > Subject: [R] Fast way to load multiple files > > > > Hi, > > > > Instead of having to program a loop to load several > > workspaces in a directory, it would be nice to store the > > filenames in a list "filelist" and then to apply "load" to this list > > "lapply( filelist, load)" > > Unfortunately, although it seems that R is loading the files, > > the contained objects are not available in the workspace afterwards. > > Any hints what I'm doing wrong or how to circumvent the problem? -- Brian D.
