Looping through file names and loading...

Dear R-Community: I am assisting a community college instructor in an introductory statistics class. He has asked me to do this: Read in a file, of filenames, line by line: Student_models.txt : (contains 1500+ filenames)

function(filename)# I pass in filename

for(i in 1:length(filename))

s <- filename[i,1]
print(s) # I check the file name, and it is OK.
load(s) # This returns all sorts of errors, most common is: object
"mod" not found.
Calling load(s) here will load the objects from a saved image into the local evaluation frame of your function. They could overwrite i, or s, or filename, or any other local variables. Are you sure that's what you want to do? I think it would be safer to do something like e <- new.env() load(s, e) and then you've loaded things into e, not into your evaluation frame, and they shouldn't mess you up. It makes it a bit more work to extract things, but not that much more.
.................. pred <- predict( s , test_vector) # I never get this far
Now this doesn't make sense: isn't "s" a filename? Duncan Murdoch
print(pred) write(filename, pred, "output.txt") ..... } The filenames are correct, and I can use "load(s)" interactively, but it won't work in a function. Thanks for ANY help!!!! Gregg Allen USA
