Hi, How to turn a character string into an unevaluated R object? I want to load some files in a directory into data matrix R objects. I could do this with read.table and assign (see below). Then, I want to turn the character string representing a file name (the evaluated expression of i) into an unevaluated R object. Basically, I want to create matrices whose names are the same as the related file names.
Chees, Carol ---------------------------- suppose I have mat1, mat2, mat3 files v = list.files(".", all.files = F, pattern = "mat") for (i in v) assign(i, read.table(i, sep = "\t"), pos = 1) then, I want to have 3 objects with the names mat1, mat2, mat3 containing what mat1, mat2, mat3 files contain. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
