Loading an .RData file and assigning the loaded objects within a loop

Hi all,

I tried to look this up online, but am still feeling a little stuck.

I have a bunch of Rdata files in side my directory, and I would like to
load all of them in a loop. Each time the next is read in, it would
over-write the previously read in object because they will be assigned the
same workspace object name.

Is there anyway for each individually read in Rdata object to be assigned a
new name?

If Files is a character vector containing the filenames then this
creates a list witih one componet per RData file. The list names will
be the file names.  Each component is itself a list containing the
objects in that file:

    L <- sapply(Files, function(x) mget(load(x)), simplify = FALSE)

(If it is known that each RData file contains only a single object
then mget could be replaced with get in which case each component of L
would be the object in the respective file.  In that case you will
lose the object names but as you indicated they are all the same that
likely won' t matter.)
