Subject: Naming files within R code
In-Reply-To: <CABxY9BPHrObmrUZ80QxATSSzigohnwQFLRfd7cmXHQxuqfRE4w@mail.gmail.com>
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
