loop through all files in a directory, read and save them in an object R

Question

I need to loop through all files in a directory, read and save them in an object with the same name.

I tried the following but none of them worked:

files         


        

Answer 1

library(tools)

files <- list.files(path=".", pattern="*.txt", all.files=T, full.names=T)

The following code section comes from How can I ask a user and read those files(s) into separate dataframes?

filelist <- lapply(files, read.table, header=F)
names(filelist) <- paste0(basename(file_path_sans_ext(files)))
list2env(filelist, envir=.GlobalEnv)

The following code section comes from Storing multiple data frames into one data structure - R

lapply(names(filelist), function(u) {
assign(u, filelist[[u]]) 
save(list=u, file=paste0(u, ".Rdata"))
})
