Hi, I am sorry if I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do here, but can you simplify it this way? (unfortualtely, this is untested since I dont have a suitable set of files and a directory structure to test against)
dbifiles <- list.files(pattern="*.dbi",recursive=TRUE) csvfiles <- gsub("dbi$","csv",dbifiles) for(i in seq_along(csvfiles)){ df <- read.dbf(dbfiles[i]) write.csv( df, file =csvfiles[i]) } or something along these lines?
