Hi R people!

I have a directory of .csv files I would like to make into objects then scatter plots. I have been having varying degrees of progress. I was able make an object of all files, loop through it, and make a pdf of the last file I looped through. I kept renaming the pdf so instead of ending up with
27 pdfs I got one, with the data from the last file

I have been tweaking with it and now can't even make the data object and I am not sure why.

I am a bit brain dead at this point :)

I am new to R and have been programming in perl - but not all that long

Could you please have  al look at it..

here is the script I have been using

# source of this code below
#http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/kr_scrpt.html

# store the current directory
initial.dir<-getwd()
# change to the new directory
setwd("/data/homes/ccpage/ngs/Argueso/Tophat/flocculated/cuffdiff/ fpkmgt")

# source of this code below
# https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-March/158336.html


files <- Sys.glob("*.csv")  # get names of files to process
#result <- numeric(length(files)) # preallocate assuming single value from each file

for (i in seq_along(files)){
# want to give each object a unique name would like to use file[i] MINUS the .csv extention regex #test<-files[i] # tried to use as variable to name each pdf this object is the name of last file in loop

   data <- read.csv(files[i])

# I want to name the pdf the same name as the object with a .pdf extention here I think it will be file[i].csv.pdf # I don't know how to use regex in R I could readLines(objectnames.txt) and loop through those as well

    pdf("data.pdf")
plot(data$fpkma,data$fpkmb, main="Scatter plot of data",xlab="FPKM of First Time Point",ylab="FPKM of Second Time Point")
    dev.off()
}

# change back to the original directory
setwd(initial.dir)

the command I have been using :
R CMD BATCH /data/homes/ccpage/ngs/rscripts/test_for.R
