[R] Inputing data from multiple files as time series objects

[Constantine Tsardounis]

Hello to everyone,...

I am a new R ambitious user. I would like to be the first at my
department using R, but I have encountered a difficulty during the
last days that I cannot overcome reading help() and searching over the
net.
Problem:
I have multiple files with financial data like the following (header included):
E.g.:
filename: AOL.txt
aol.txt
4
3
5
3...

filename: IBM.txt
ibm.txt
6
2
5
2...

I would like to input these data in R as time-series objects with
their corresponding names automatically, so that I can manipulate them
(exempli gratia plot acf, pacf, differntiate them, make adf tests,
etc)
For example: I could do that by hand using:
AOL <- ts(read.table(AOL.txt, header = TRUE))))
IBM <- ts(read.table(IBM.txt, header = TRUE))))
but is there another way to achieve the same actions as above with a
more versatile way? (for example loops?)
Or would you suggest inputing these data with another way or as other objects?

Thank you very much in advance,...
