That would result in each of the ten files containing an object with the same name == "m". (Also on my system R data files have type Rdta.) So I thought what was requested might have been a slight mod:

path <- "~/";
dir.create(path);

for (i in 1:10) {
 assign( paste("m", i, sep=""),  i:5)
 filename <- sprintf("m%02d.Rdta", i)
 pathname <- file.path(path, filename)
 obj =get(paste("m", i, sep=""))
 save(obj, file=pathname)
}

Hi,

I would like to save a few dynamically created objects to disk. The
following is the basic flow of the code segment

for(i = 1:10) {
  m = i:5
  save(m, file = ...) ## ???
}
To distinguish different objects to be saved, I would like to save m as m1,
m2, m3 ..., to file /home/data/m1, /home/data/m2, home/data/m3, ...

I tried a couple of methods on translating between object names and strings
(below) but couldn't get it to work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks
