Question 1) I want to read many csv-tables and run the same commands for all of them. Is there some simpler solution than this below to solve this problem? for (g in 1:6) { if (g==1){k="kt1_0057"} if (g==2){k="kt1_0101"} if (g==3){k="kt1_0613"} if (g==4){k="staten"} if (g==5){k="tenpenny"} if (g==6){k="fiddrunk"} TABLE=read.table(paste("/home/user/",k,".csv",sep=""),sep = ",", na.strings=".",header=F,fill=TRUE); print(TABLE) } Question 2) Is it possible to create new variables for example with the assistance of for-loop without initialising them beforehand?
