Dear All,

Thanks to an answer which I received from a previous post, I'm now able to 
create a series of
environments using the following:

 nmes <- c("en1", "en2", "en3")
 for(i in nmes) assign(i, new.env(parent = .GlobalEnv))

My next question is how, using "load", can I automatically place data into each 
of these
newly created environments.

The following, and variations thereof, does not work:

 nmes <- c("en1", "en2", "en3")
 for(i in nmes) load(file = "/home/testData/Data.RData", i)

I've tried, among other attempts, to use "as.environment(i)" without success.  My 
"i" is seen
as a character, but I want it to be seen as the environment which it represents.

More generally as the object it represents...

Try

        for(i in nmes) load(file = "/home/testData/Data.RData", get( i ))


See

        ?get

HTH,

Chuck
