how to read different files into different objects in one time?

Dear All

I have a lot of files in a directory as follows:
"02-03.txt"   "03-04.txt"   "04-05.txt"   "05-06.txt"   "06-07.txt"
"07-08.txt"   "08-09.txt"
 "09-10.txt"   "G0.txt"      "G1.txt"      "raw_ped.txt"
..........................

I want to read them into different objects according to their filenames,such as:
02-03<-read.table("02-03.txt",header=T)
03-04<-read.table("03-04.txt",header=T)
I don't want to type hundreds of read.table(),so how I read it in one time?
I think the core problem is that I can't create different objects'
name in the use of loop or sapply() ,but there may be a better way to
do what I want.

Thanks a lot
