converting a file name to the name of a table

[carol white <wht_crl@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
is there anyway to name a table that i create by read.table by the name of the file from which the content is read into the table?

I want to read the files in the current directory and into a table whose name is the name of the file. I tried as.name but doesn't work
 
files.lst = list.files(".")
 for (i in 1:length(files.lst))
+ as.name(files.lst[i]) =  read.table (files.lst[i], check.names = F, header = T)

thanks

carol
