So let's say I have a directory with a bunch of .rdata files
file_names=as.list(dir(pattern="stock_*"))
[[1]]
[1] "stock_1.rdata"
[[2]]
[1] "stock_2.rdata"
Now, how do I load these files with a single call?
I can always do:
for(i in 1:length(file_names)) load(file_names[[i]])
but why can't I do something like do.call(load, file_names)?
I suppose none of the apply functions would work because most of them would return lists but nothing should be returned, just that these files need to be loaded. I cannot get the get function to work in this context either. Ideas?
