Using loop numbers in write.csv
See ?paste and ?assign, those will get what you want done. At least in the second case, you might consider using a list, however. You can then avoid the use of 'for' loops by using functions such as lapply. Best, Erik Iverson

because I was sut sure I would find the answer on my own, but as of
yet...no dice.
1) Is there a way to use the loop number in naming things in R.
Specifically I have a simulation that has two loops. I would like to
be able to write out the results to a csv file after each iteration.
something like:
for (i in 1:10){
exampleMatrix <- matrix(runif(25, 0, 1),5, 5)
write.csv(exampleMatrix, file = "resultsMatrix_i.csv")
}
Where I would get 10 csv files named resultsMatrix_1, resultsMatrix_2
... resultsMatrix_10.
2) On a similar note is there a way to use the loop number when naming things.
something like:
for (i in 1:10){
exampleMatrix_i <- matrix(runif(25, 0, 1),5, 5)
}
Where I would then have 10 matrices in memory with the names
exampleMatrix_1, exampleMatrix_2 ... exampleMatrix_10.
Thanks,
EG
