Hello all, This seems like a pretty standard question - suppose I want to loop through a set of similar data-frames, with similar variables, and create new variables within them:
nl<-seq(1,5)for (i in nl) { assign(paste0("df_",nl[i]),data.frame(x=seq(1:10),y=rnorm(10)))} ls()[grep("df_",ls())] nls<-ls()[grep("df_",ls())]for (df in nls) { print(df) for (var in names(get(df))) { print(var) assign(paste0(df,"$",paste0(var,"_cs")),cumsum(get(df)[[var]])) }} ls()[grep("df_",ls())] The code above *almost* works, except that it creates a whole bunch of objects of the form df_1$x_cs,df_1$yx_cs ..... What I want is 5 dataframes, with the $ elements enclosed, as usual. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Much thanks, Dan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
