this? Thank

for (t in 1970:2005)
{ edge <- read.table(file="edge_t.csv", header=T, sep=",")
Pretty sure that will not work. Take a look at the paste function for
putting together strings and values.
paste("test", 1:3, sep="")
#[1] "test1" "test2" "test3"
And you might consider whether you want "edge" to be wiped out the
next time through the loop, too. That is what would happen with your
current construction.
