[R] choose.files limit?

[Gunnar W. Schade]

Howdy,

When I use the choose.files command to read files a large number of file 
names to a character vector inside a function, used to access these files 
one after the other, there appears to be a limit. I do not know whether it 
is arbitrary, but in this case the limit was 991 files. The file names are 
long. Does that matter? The error message that appears says that it cannot 
find file #992 (giving the file name), although it is certainly there (I 
tried changing which file is #992 and it did not matter).

Suggestions?

- Gunnar
