Hello, there, I wrote a loop to check the dimension of all the .txt dataframes:> ls() [1] "actualpca.table" "b4galnt2" "b4galnt2.txt" "data" [5] "galnt4" "galnt4.txt" "galnt5" "galnt5.txt" [9] "galnt6" "galnt6.txt" "glyco" "glyco.txt" [13] "i" "mtscaled" "newsig.table" "nicepca" [17] "pca" "sig.txt" "st3gal3" "st3gal3.txt" [21] "st3gal5" "st3gal5.txt" "st6gal1" "st6gal1.txt"
for(i in ls(pattern="txt")){dim(get(i))}
If I check individual ones, they are ok:
dim(get("galnt4.txt"))
[1] 8 3
could anyone help me to figure out why it did not work with a loop? Thanks a lot!
It's the difference between for (i in 1:10) i (which prints nothing) and for (i in 1:10) print(i) Duncan Murdoch
