Hello, Is it possible to convert a string to a variable? I have a set of names:
stocks
[1] "ACCELL" "AHOLD" "AJAX" "ARCADIS" "BALLAST"
"BAM.GROEP"
[7] "BESI" "BETER.BED" "BINCKBANK.NV" "BOSKALIS"
"CATE" "CROWN.V.GELDER"
And a data frame with stockquotes.
With a for-loop I want to create variables (ACCEL, AHOLD ....) with quotes
from the data frame 'data':
for (i in stocks){
k=1; m=2
m=10
??i<- data[,k:m]
k=k+2; m=10+2
}
How can I do this?
Thanks for the answer.
Andr?
