Use a list to store the results of your regression models as well, e.g.

foo <- function(n) return(transform(X <- as.data.frame(replicate(2, rnorm(n))), 
                                                       y = V1+V2+rnorm(n)))
write.csv(foo(10), file="dat1.csv")
write.csv(foo(10), file="dat2.csv")
csvdat <- list.files(pattern="dat.*csv")
lm.res <- list()
for (i in seq(along=csvdat))
  lm.res[[i]] <- lm(y ~ ., data=read.csv(csvdat[i]))
names(lm.res) <- csvdat
