Dear listers, I am using the package foreign function read.dbf and meet the following issue:
i<-"Mailles_2011a.dbf" dbf<-read.dbf(i) works well BUT if I have a vector such as files <- c("Mailles_2011a.shp", "Mailles_2011p.shp", "Mailles_2012a.shp", "Mailles_2012p.shp", "Mailles_2013a.shp", "Mailles_2013p.shp", "Mailles_2014p.shp", "Mailles_2015a.shp", "Mailles_2015p.shp", "Mailles_2016p.shp") for(i in files) { dbf<-read.dbf(i) names(dbf) } gives the following error message: Error in read.dbf(i) : unable to open DBF file Same error with e.g. dbf<-read.dbf(files[1]) Any idea about what's happening?
