Dear all,

I've been trying to implement the advice given to me, but without much success 
so far. I thought I'd provide the code in full in the hope that it might make 
more sense. Just to reiterate, I'm attempting to change the header of the 4th 
column of every table to "COUNT".


year<- 1951:2000
filelist <- paste("C:\\Data\\arunoff_",year,".txt", sep="")
filelist


# Assign file names to individual objects

table_year=1951

for (i in filelist) {
          assign(paste("arunoff_",table_year,"_temp", 
sep=""),read.table(file=i, header=TRUE, sep=","))
          print(c("LOADED FILE: ","arunoff_",table_year,"_temp"), quote=FALSE)
          table_year = table_year+1
          }


# RE-FORMAT DATA

# Change names of particular column headings
          colnames(assign(paste("arunoff_",table_year, sep=""))[4],"COUNT")


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks as ever,

Steve
