I know how to do this individually. However, I have more than 1000 files. I decided to use a for loop. However, it seems like I did not find the correct way to evaluate my variables.
Here is my code
setwd('C:/data')
filenames=dir() #find file names
for (i in filenames){
adt = substr(x = i, start = 1, stop = nchar(i)-4)
name=paste("data_", adt, sep="")
assign(name, read.csv(i,header=T,sep=",")) #read each file and assign a variable name starting with data_ to it
func=paste('name[is.na(name)] <- 0',sep="") # here is the place I have problem. R will not consider name is a parameter whose values change in each iteration
eval((text=func))
}
