create a loop: convert .txt to .csv in R -

i try convert .txt files in .csv, didn't manage create loop. actual line 1 file (which works perfectly) following:

tab = read.delim("name_file", header = true, skip = 11) write.table(tab, file="name_file.csv",sep=",",col.names=true,row.names=false) 

and .txt file have in wd.

i tried loop with, based on reasearch on web, not sure it's right one:

files = list.files(pattern = ".txt") (i in 1:length(files)) {   files = read.csv(file = files[i], header = true, skip = 11, fill = true)   write.csv(files, file = paste0(sub("folder_name", ".txt","", files[i]), ".csv")) } 

i'm on windows system. appreciate help... thanks!

you need index output inside loop well. try this:

infiles = list.files(pattern = ".txt")  outfiles = vector(mode = "character", length = length(infiles))  (i in 1:length(infiles)) {    outfiles[i] = read.csv(file = infiles[i], header = true, skip = 11,                      fill = true)    write.csv(outfiles[i], file = paste0("folder_name", sub(".txt","", infiles[i]), ".csv"))  }
