There is also file.path() for this purpose (and that allows you to write
paths without trailing separators, a good idea as Windows does not like
them).
But there is probably a yet easier way, as I suspect you intended
something like
test <- function(dir) {
for(fn in list.files(dir, full.names = TRUE)) {
tmpdata <- read.spss(fn, use.value.labels=F, to.data.frame=T)
....
}
}
