I'm sure this has been answered before but alas my googlefoo is not that strong.
I have several .Rdata files with a single object in them. I need to set the
class of the object to "myClass". Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the
object beforehand. Obviously I could ls() and get the name but as I have quite
a few of these I'd like to do it programmatically.
I thought something like this would work, but I get an error.
>obj_name <- load("Robject.RData") # get the name of the loaded object
>class(get(obj_name)) <- "myClass"
Error in class(get(obj_name)) <- " myClass " :
could not find function "get<-"
So I guess the question is how do I set the class of an R object when I only
have the object name as a character string?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
