What I am trying to do is as follows: - I have listed names of all wanted objects (datasets A,B,C... ) in current workspace as a vector:
obj <- c('A','B','C') - then i need to use these objects, say to extract all the 1st columns and bind to an existing dataset ('data'): for ( i in 1:3){ newdata <- obj[i] data <- cbind(data,newdata [[1]] ) } Obviously, it doesn't work since obj[i] is just a string of dataset name. Here is my question: how to call it as a original dataset? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/enable-object-name-to-be-called-as-object-%28a-dataset%29-tf4403933.html#a12563767 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
