Perform operations on dataframes called with paste in loops

Greg Snow 
There are a few options:

You can read the help page for the function that you used to assign names to the data frames when you read them in (the 'see also' section is there for a reason).

You can read the FAQ (7.21 to be specific, but the others could save you re-asking FAQs in the future)

You can take a better approach by reading all your data sets into a list (use lapply on the vector of names), then use lapply on the list of datasets and avoid all the future headache/heartache that will come from the approach you are trying.
