Hi there,

I am trying to import 100 files with the names of "vpn 1 .dat" to "vpn 100
.dat"
into a respective table calld vpn1 to vpn100.

I therfore have created a variable X<-1:100

I not want to use X as a subtitute for the number in my filename, so that I
have to write only one function and it does the operation with all files.

I have tried every combination i could imagine to include the string X into
the file name:

vpn'X'  , vpn"X"  , vpn[X] ,  and so on, but R never did what I wanted it
too.

vpn"X"<-read.table("vpn "X" .dat")

So is there a way to do this in R??? or should I use an intirely new
aproach?

Thanks for your Help!
