R_loading R data files in a loop and assigning a same variable name

Question

Hi I have several RData files with the same file name and object name. For example one of the file names is int.5.RData where the dataframe int.5 is saved. I have several similar files with names int.5.RData, int.10.RData, and so on. Now I have to load them and assign a same variable name (say new.int) to the data frames( int.5, int.10, etc) in a for loop. I can load them by using load(paste0("int",i,".RData")) in the for loop where i is c(5,10,...), But I am stuck with the next step where I have to assign the data frames (int.5, int.10,etc) the same name, int.new in the same loop as I can't use pastecommand for that operation. Can anybody help me here?

Better to read the data into a list. See gregor's answer here. — lmo

can you post what you've done already in full in addition to describing it? — pr140

~~Look at assign..~~

Edit:

In that case look at get function:

> a <- 5
> get("a")
[1] 5

I had a look at assign already. But in my case nam is always same (i.e. new.int) and the objects this name be assigned to is different everytime (i.e. int.5, int.10, etc)
