Not sure exactly what 'results' is doing there or 'barplot(table(i),...)'
does [see ?table]
but I think this is sort of what you want to do?
## Variable assignment
G01_01 <- 1:10
G01_02 <- 2:6
## Combine to list*
varnames <- paste("G01_",substring(100+1:2,2),sep="")
vars <- lapply(`names<-`(as.list(varnames),varnames),
function(x) eval(parse(text=x)))
print(vars)
## Plotting
for( i in 1:length(vars) ) {
filenm <- paste("/my/dir/barplot",i,".png",sep="")
barplot(...)
dev.copy(png,filename=filenm,...)
dev.off()
}
## **Combining to list, step-by-step
## does the same thing as above
digits <- substring(100+1:2,2)
varnames <- paste("G01_",digits,sep="")
vars <- as.list(varnames)
names(varlist) <- vars
# convert character string of variable names to
# expressions via parse() and evaluate by eval()
vars <- lapply(varlist,function(x) eval(parse(text=x)))
print(vars)
I think in many cases paste() is your answer...
