using mget function to create a list of dataframes

I have several dataframes that I want to put in a list, so that they will be kept as separate dataframes (i.e. a list with 6 elements). when I do it like this, it works:

df.list.fin <- list(data53,data54,data113,data117,data123,data127)

I want to make it automatic so I will not have to enter the numbers each time. I tried to do the following:

df.list.fin <- list(mget(paste0("data",video_number)))

Now I still get a list, but the dataframes within the list are not separable from one another. That is, I get one big list with one element.

Any idea how to correct this?

You don't need the `list`. Try `df.list.fin <- mget(paste0("data",video_number))` – Ronak Shah Sep 18 '21 at 06:32
here is a possible code for your task: `list_of_df <- Filter(function(x) is(x, "data.frame"), mget(ls()))` – TarJae Sep 18 '21 at 06:54
