I'd like to use a string to refer to an R object with the end objective of going through a loop and saving various files of the same name with different contents using a numbered suffix.
# This will be the loop counter and file suffix. master.i <- 1 # This is the generic file name. unislopes <- c(1,2,3) # This assigns the data to the correct file name "unislopes1". assign(paste("unislopes",master.i,sep=""),unislopes) # This is the problem. The first parameter of the "save" function requires an R object which I'm not sure how to reference using the suffix "1". The second part requires text so it can use the paste function. save((paste("unislopes",master.i,sep=""),file=paste("unislopes",master.i,".Rdata",sep="")) Any ideas? -- Best regards, David Young Marketing and Statistical Consultant Madrid, Spain +34 913 540 381 http://www.linkedin.com/in/europedavidyoung mailto:dyo...@telefonica.net ______________________________________________ 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.
