Hi,

I want to do automatic reading of a number of tables (files) stored in ascii format
without having to specify the variable name in R each time. Below is an example
of how I would like to use it (I assume files pair1,...,pair8 exist in spec. dire.)


for (i in 1:8){
 name <- paste("pair",i,sep="")
 ? ? ? <- read.table(paste("/home/andersm/tmp/",name,sep=""))
}

pairlist <- vector(8, mode = "list") for (i in 1:8){ name <- paste("pair",i,sep="") pairlist[[i]] <- read.table(paste("/home/andersm/tmp/",name,sep="")) }

or use assign(), but you don't want to do that really.

after which I want to have pair1,...,pair8 as tables.

But I can not get it right. Anybody having a smart solution?

Best regards,
