[R] naming data.frames after their source file

[David White]

Hello R-list,

I have a batch of files that I want to turn into R data.frames for
analysis. I'd like to use a for loop to read.table into data frame and
name the data.frame after the source file. Here's the code I've tried:

files_list.files(".")
for(i in 1:length(list.files("."))-1){
parse(text=files[i])[[1]]_read.table(files[i],as.is=TRUE)
}

AFIK, the problem lies in the way I'm trying to name the data.frame.
I have spent some time pouring over the R documentation, but if the answer
was there I missed it. Any reference to the manuals or quick fix would be
appreciated.

David
