Subject: renaming objects
Is there a way to rename R objects?
I am looking for a way to rename objects
without making new objects.
#For example:
x = c(1:40)
# I wish to use a function to rename x, already created, to y, perhaps by
obj.rename(x,y)
# or
obj.rename("x","y")
There are numerous examples of renaming
variables (columns) in dataframes, but I have
found no methods for renaming objects.
The functionassign() does not do this.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Cordially
