hey, Rers in Stata therer is a loop command ` ' which could do the following:
forvalue i=1/10 { gen x`i'=expression } this will generate variable: x1,x2,,,,,x10. so, does R have a corresponding one to this? And one more very basic question: after I open a file and modify it, such as generate some new variables and change some old ones, how to use the changed dataset in analysis, except the method save and reload it? I have tried but did not get the right thing done: mydata<-read(flie=".....") ........ detach() attach(names of my data set) any answer are appreciated.
