Hi

How can I load libraries from a list containing the library names?

Something like this

ListOfLibraries=c("foreign","survival")

for (in in 1:length(ListOfLibraries)){library(as.name(ListOfLibraries[i]))}

I already tried this  with no results.


Any help appreciated. 

Thanks

PACKAGES!

lapply(ListOfLibraries,function(x){library(x,character.only=TRUE)})
