Sorry if I wasn't stating what I really wanted or it was a bit confusing. Basically, there are MANY datasets to run suing the same function
I have written a function to analyze it and returns a LIST of useful out put in the variable 'res' (to the workspace). I also created another script run.r such as myname(dat1) myname(dat2) myname(dat3) myname(dat4) myname(dat5) For now, each time the output in the main workspace 'res' (the list) is over written. I want it to have different suffix to differentiate them. So I can have a look later after the batch is run.
