I am trying to rename column names in a dataframe within a function. I am
seeing an error (listed below) that I don't understand.
Would be grateful of an explanation of what I am doing wrong and how I
should rewrite the function to allow me to be able to rename my variables.
Thanks.
# Test Function
myfunc <-function(var){
d = c(1,2,3,4,5)
dts = seq(as.Date("2011-01-01"),by="month",length.out=length(d))
assign(paste(var,".df",sep=""), cbind(dts, d))
names(get(paste(var,".df",sep=""))) <- c("Dates","Data")
}
# Call Function
myfunc("X")
# Error Message
Error in names(get(paste(var, ".df", sep = ""))) <- c("Dates", "Data") :
could not find function "get<-"
