Greetings,
I would like to flexibly combine several data frames objects without
specifying the exact names of the objects in memory. Should I use indexing
to call those objects out of memory? I regularly use indexes to flexibly
extract parts of data frames and lists and to read files from my hard
drive, but I can't figure out how to do so with stored objects.
In my case, all of the data frames of interest are formatted the same way
and have been assigned to objects with the prefix "data.". The following
examples combine only the names (not the objects themselves):
rbind(ls()[grep("data.", ls(), fixed=T)])
list(ls()[grep("data.", ls(), fixed=T)])
Is there a way to get ls() (or some other function) to return the object
instead of just the name? I searched the help files and the R-help archives
but couldn't find a solution. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Chris
