Applying rbind() to a sequence of data frame names
Try this: do.call(rbind, lapply(ls(patt="^ds[0-9]"), get))

I have a set of data frames ds1, ds2, ... each having the same columns
and column names:
ds1 <- data.frame(x=c(1,2,3,4), y=c(5,6,7,8))
ds1 <- data.frame(x=c(9,10,11,12), y=c(13,14,15,16))
...
and I would like to combine them into just one data frame like
ds <- rbind(ds1, ds2, ...)
Because there are so many of them, I will have to use a character array
nms <- c("ds1", "ds2", ...)
How can I use this character array to generate a command using rbind()
on all of these data frames at once.
I tried to apply eval() somehow, but did not come up with the right idea.
Thanks
