you need to get(), e.g., try this: dat1 <- rnorm(5) dat2 <- rnorm(6) dat3 <- rnorm(7)
lis <- lapply(paste("dat", 1:3, sep = ""), get) lis sapply(lis, sd) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris Megh Dal wrote:
[My previous message rejected, therefore I am sending same one with some modification] I have 3 vectors with object name : dat1, dat2, dat3 Now I want to create a loop, like : for (i in 1:3) { cat(sd(dati)) } How I can do this in R?
