name of object from character vector
look at "?assign", e.g.,
b <- c("math", "geography", "history")
assign(b[1], data.frame(x=rnorm(5), y=rnorm(5)))
math
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris

Subject: [R] name of object from character vector
Hello everyone!
A simple question (I'm not sure about the answer):
How can I give a name to my data.frame from a character vector of
names?
For example, each data.frame is a table of results for a subject and
I have a vector of subject names like
b <- c("math", "geography", "history")
How do I create a data.frame named "math" by calling b[1]?
I'm importing data via RODBC in one big loop for all subjects and
I want them separated so I'll be able to load them one at a time
later on.
Thanks for your help,
Gasper
