I believe that ``sep= " '' is needed here rather than collapse.
Try:
paste("junk",42,collapse="")

Hello,
In R you just need to take the log of the whole whole data.frame
where you
have your pci* and store in a new variable.
You do not need to use a "for" loop:
log.df <- log(your_data_frame)
Possibly with a selection for the column name

Hi All,
This is surely an easy question but somehow I am not being able to get it.
I am using R 2.13.2 and have a data set where variable names like this
appear:
pci1990, pci1991, ... , pci2009.
"pci1990" has data on per capita income for 1990, "pci1991" has data on
per capita income for 19

get() is the key -- it takes a string and returns the object with that
string as its name. Assign() goes the other way
Try this:
for (i in 1990:2009) {
varName = paste("pci", i, collapse = "")
assign(varName, lo
