I don't know where you got the idea to end R statements with ";".
I find it atrocious. It just does not belong to the S language
and its R implementation.
Please don't do it
-- it hurts the eyes of most experienced R users
-- it's extra clutter
-- internally each extra ";" is an extra empty statement
OTOH, *please* do
-- indent R code and
-- use spaces to increase readability
This would make your above code into something like
cvListFiles <- list.files(fnDir)
for(i in grep(paste("^", pfnStub,".*\\.RData$", sep = ""), cvListFiles)) {
load(paste(fnDir, cvListFiles[i], sep = "/"))
myFunction(rliObject)
rm(rliObject)
}
Something many readers on this list will much prefer to your
original, and hence start considering to look at ..
