I see no advantage in having that information in variable names. Just - add the name of the data set to the information that is included in the returned list. - run your function with sapply() and the returned list of sapply will be a list of lists. -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <h...@sociologi.cjb.net> ______________________________________________ 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.
