Hi Everyone, I am trying to import many CSV files to their own matrices. Example, alaska_93.csv to alaska. When I execute the following, for each csv.file separately it is successful. singleCSVFile2Matrix <- function(x,path) { assign(gsub(pattern=".csv",x,replacement=""),read.csv(paste(path,x,sep=""))) } when I try to include it in a loop in another function (I have so many csv files to import), it doesn't work. I mean the following function doesn't do it. loadCSVFiles_old <- function(path) { x <- list.files(path) for (i in 1:length(x)) { assign(gsub(pattern=".csv",x[i],replacement=""),read.csv(paste(path,x[i],sep=""))) } } Instead, if I execute the foor loop in the command line, it works. I am puzzled. Appreciate any help. thanks yetik
