Hi, Let's say I have a data frame (called "example") with numeric values stored (columns V1 and V2). I also have a string variable storing this name
x1<-"example" Is there a way to use the variable x so that R knows that I want the specified action to occur on the data frame? For example, summary (x) would return a summary of the data frame? I am considering this because I need to compare many data frames within 2 nested for loops. In the first iteration of the loop I could concatenate x and 1 and then use it to represent the data frame. I'm open to a better solution.
