Hi, Still with the above problem:
But for instance, i have a data base with 30 variables and I created an object each with one varibale missing: DataBase - has 30 variables DataBase1 has 29 variables with the 1st variable gone DataBase2 has 29 variables with the 2nd variable gone for(i in 1:length(database)) assign(paste("database",i,sep=""),database[-i]) Now, I wish to create the 30 distance matrix: for (i in 1:length(database)) assign(paste("distancematrix",i,sep=""), dist(database[i])) But doing like this - database[i] - I am just refering to the 1st value on the object database and not to the entire database i. How do I do this? thanks Regards, A.Dias -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Help-with-For-instruction-tp3173074p3173914.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
