[R] iterative variable names

2011-12-05 Thread bcdc 
Hi,

I'm trying to assign iterative names to variable, but all my attempts have
failed. I have a loop, and for every iteration, I need to create a variable,
and I'd like to name them iteratively, such as:

for(i in 1:10)
{
   x_i - c(values)
}

I need it to return ten variables: x_1, x_2, ..., x_10

How can I do it?

Thank you very much!
Beatriz

You actually want to create a list of objects that you return in the end.

?assign

for (i in 1:10) assign(paste('x_', i, sep = ''), i)

but before you do this, consider using a 'list'; check the archives since this 
is asked a lot.

Thank you very much, assign was exactly what I needed! For my case, it worked
better than list! :)

If assign(paste('x_', i)) works better for your case than using a list or array 
, you must surely have a very strange case
