R help - Oct 2010 - Help on reading multiple files in R

Hi,
    How can I read multiple files(in a loop like manner) within a single code of
R ? For example, I need to run the same code for different datasets (here list
of companies) and since individual files are quite large, appending the files
into one file is not a desirable option. Can this be done through a macro or sql
kind of command?

Thank you in advance.
