variable object naming
Is this, i.e., using 'assign', the direction you want to go? If so, pay attention to the 'envir' parameter. BEGIN FROM Stat-R-US: http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/Rtips.html#2.2 ... 2.2 Create variable names "on the fly" (10/04/2001 Paul Johnson <pauljohn at ukans.edu>) Paste together a variable name, set it to a value. Use assign. As in
assign(paste("file", 1, "max", sep=""), 1)
ls()
[1] "file1max" (Brian Ripley, June 18, 2001) ... END FROM STAT-R-US Regards, Michael Grant --- "Benjamin M. Osborne" <Benjamin.Osborne at uvm.edu> wrote:
Is it possible to give a temporary object a name
that varies with each run of a
foreloop? For example, I want to fill a matrix
every time I run a loop, and I
want a new matrix with each run, with an appropriate
new name.
i.e.:
for(i in 1:5){... matrix.i<-some values ...}
so that in the end I would have:
matrix.1
matrix.2
matrix.3
matrix.4
matrix.5
Thanks,
