Hello, Try the following.
dd <- data.frame(A=letters[1:10], var_1=1:10, var_2=11:20) index <- grep("var_", names(dd)) for(i in index) print(dd[[ i ]]) # or dd[, i] # vars <- paste("var", 1:2, sep="_") for(v in vars) print(dd[, v]) # or dd[[ v ]] There's nothing you can do in Stata you can't in R. I don't know Stata but I know I'm right. Almost surely. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 28-06-2012 14:42, kat_the_great escreveu:
Hi Oliver, Thank you for your reply. I can't use vectors as each var_1, var_2 is a new column/variable, not a new observation within a vector. But thank you, Kat -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Printing-a-variable-in-a-loop-tp4634673p4634756.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
