Try: for( i in 255 ){ plot( get( paste('m.', i, sep='') )$medoids ) }
For future use it may be easier to put m1, m2, ... Into a list and work with that: med.list <- list() for( i in 1:255 ){ med.list[[i]] <- get( paste('m.',i,sep='') ) } lapply( med.list, function(x) plot(x$medoid) ) Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
