Naming files within R code

Hello,

You can read in the files in a `lapply` loop, assign the result to a
list, say df_list, and

names(df_list) <- c("tay","forth","don")
list2env(df_list, envir = globalenv())


This creates 3 data.frames with those names in the global environment.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hello    I have data from various Scottish river catchments in the form of
csv files.  I want to be able to download the files in turn and refer to
each one by an assigned name from a vector of names, but within R.  So, for
example, if my vector of names is c("tay","forth","don") I want to tell R
to refer to the sequences of dataframes as a variable name, ie the table
uploaded from the first csv becomes the object tay *within* R and so on, so
that I could the do things like write print(tay[,1]) etc,rather than having
to refer to a list eg print(riverlist[[1]][,1])  I don't know whether this
is possible but if it is I'd be grateful for any pointers
Thanks, Nick Wray
