For what it's worth (perhaps little...), I would normally do
for (pn in pathnames) source(pn)
It's clearer to read and won't return a strange value. I doubt there will
be a noticeable difference in speed. It can easily be extended to be more
informative, as in
for (pn in pathnames) {
cat('--- now sourcing',pn,'---\n')
source(pn)
}
One could also introduce error trapping using try() in this version.
As far as surpassing the message is concerned, one option would be to put
your sapply() expression inside invisible(). Not sure what will happen in
that case if any of the scripts fail with an error.
