Automatic file reading
Hi Andreas,
what's about:
pair <- list()
for (i in 1:8){
name <- paste("pair",i,sep="")
pair[[ i ]] <- read.table(paste("/home/andersm/tmp/",name,sep=""))
}

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=""))
}
after which I want to have pair1,...,pair8 as tables.
But I can not get it right. Anybody having a smart solution?
Best regards,
Anders Malmberg
