[R] Reading Input file

[Maithili Shiva]

Dear R helpers
 
I have some files in my say 'WORK' directory and the file names are say 
rate1.csv, rate2.csv, rate3.csv, rate4.csv
 
Because of some other requirement, I need to run the following commands
 
n = 4  
 
rates = NULL
 
for (i in 1:n)

rates[i] = (paste(`rate', i, ‘.csv`, sep = ‘’))
 
# this gives me "rate1.csv" "rate2.csv" and so on 
 
#My problem is now I need to relate these file names with actual files and read 
these files
# There are files rate1.csv, rate2.csv, rate3.csv, rate4.csv in my WORK 
directory.
 
 
# If I individually define 
 
PPP = read.csv(‘rate[1]’) 
PPP      # When I run PPP in R, it gives contents of the file rate1.csv 
i.e. I am able to read the required rate1 file. But if I run following 
commands, I get errors. 
  
newrate = NULL 
  
for (i in 1:n) 
   {
    newrate[i] = read.csv(rates[i]) 
   } 
  
I need to read all these four files for my further analysis. Please guide. 
  
  
Regards
