[R] loop and read.table

[Gabor Grothendieck]

And if your intention is to create 4 data frames with
names tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4 then combine Prof. Riley's
advice with assign like this:

for(i in 1:4) 
   assign( paste("tab", i, sep=""), 
           read.table(paste(i, "txt", sep=".")) )

Use read.table(paste(i, "txt", sep="."))
