Dear all,
The function I present works perfectly when I run it as written (that is,
leaving NEW LINE as commented). However, when
I try to run the same function via this mentioned line (and therefore
commenting LAST LINE) R gives an error message:
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : object 'dt_sp_1' not found. I do not understand why
I don't get the same result.
You aren't specifying the "envir" argument to "get", so it defaults to
the environment from which you called get, and that's the evaluation
frame of lapply() (or maybe of do.call()).
Write the last line as
union <- do.call(rbind, lapply(paste0("dt_sp_", 1:length(sp)), get, envir =
environment()))
and it works.

Thanks in advance for any help!
