Hi,
I'm trying to assign iterative names to variable, but all my attempts have
failed. I have a loop, and for every iteration, I need to create a variable,
and I'd like to name them iteratively, such as:
for(i in 1:10)
{
x_i <- c(values)
}
I need it to return ten variables: x_1, x_2, ..., x_10
How can I do it?
Thank you very much!
Beatriz

You actually want to create a list of objects that you return in the end. Uwe Ligges

?assign
for (i in 1:10) assign(paste('x_', i, sep = ''), i)
but before you do this, consider using a 'list'; check the archives since this is asked a lot.

Thank you very much, assign was exactly what I needed! For my case, it worked better than list! :) Beatriz -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/iterative-variable-names-tp4159888p4160262.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

If assign(paste('x_', i)) works better for your case than using a list or array , you must surely have a very strange case....
