I don't know how many files you are planning to open, but what you also might run into is the maximum number of connections namely 125. See ?file.

Hi,
        I thought that 'R' like java will allow me to store file names
(keys) and file descriptors(values) in a hashmap.


filelist.array <- function(n){
  sink("nmon.log")
  cpufile <- new.env(hash=T, parent=emptyenv())
  for (i in 1:n) {
    key <- paste("output", i, ".txt", sep = "")
    assign(key, file( key, "w" ), cpufile)
  }
    sink()
   return (cpufile)
}

But when I try to test it like this there is an exception

[1] "Exception is  Error in UseMethod(\"close\"): no applicable method for
'close' applied to an object of class \"c('integer', 'numeric')\"\n"

test.simple.filelist.array <- function() {

    execution <- tryCatch({
                sink("nmon.log")
                listoffiles <- filelist.array(3)
                for (v in ls(listoffiles)) {
                        print(paste("Map value is [", listoffiles[[v]], "]"))
                        fd <- listoffiles[[v]]
                        close(fd)
                }
        sink()
        }, error = function(err){
                print(paste("Exception is ",err))
        })
}

I think I am missing some fundamentals.

Thanks,
Mohan
