Thanks for helpful replies. Unfortunately, I didn't mention that I
want to overwrite the existing data frame with the corrected one using
the same name. Here's what I have:
## get names of data frames
frames <- names(Filter(function(x) x=="data.frame",
sapply(objects(),function(x)
class(eval(parse(text=x))))))
## loop through list
for( i in seq(along=frames) ) {
#don't need next line, but good to remember if need to exclude a df
#if (frames[i] != "junk") {
df <- eval(parse(text=frames[i]))
for (c in 1:ncol(df)){
if (is.factor(df[,c])) {
df[,c] <- gsub("\r\n","",as.vector(df[,c]))
}
}
names(df) <- frames[i]
}#end first if
}#end first for
#END
Unfortunately, the "names(df)<-frames[i]" line just changes the name
of the first column in df. How can I overwrite the existing data frame
using the right name?
