r for loop to assing every file in a list to an individual corpus

Question

I whant to resume a lot of similar commands into a for loop.

q001<-Corpus(VectorSource(read.table("./q001.txt",encoding="latin1")))
q001<-Corpus(VectorSource(read.table("./q001.txt",encoding="latin1")))
....
q150<-Corpus(VectorSource(read.table("./q150.txt",encoding="latin1")))

I have limited computational resources that´s why I want to build separate corpus, clean and make tdm on each of them and later merge all the final tdm into a single tdm matrix

I build the following loop

for(i in bNames){
  filepath <- paste("./Sample/", i,".txt", sep="")
  assign(i, Corpus(VectorSource(read.table(filepath,encoding="latin1")))
}

Where bNames is a list of files to be read as individual corpus

And gets an error:

Error: unexpected '}' in:
"  assign(i, Corpus(VectorSource(read.table(filepath,encoding="latin1")))
}"

What I'm doing wrong?

您在assign末尾缺少括号

assign(i, Corpus(VectorSource(read.table(filepath,encoding="latin1"))))
