Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I just came up with another question about a similar but different thing: Say I have a bunch of data.frame variables named P1,P2,P3… I want to assign them row names according to symbols in the first column, and I want to do this using a for loop. How could I accomplish this? for (test_sample in c(1:10)){ + x<-as.name(paste(“P",as.character(test_sampel),sep="")) + rownames(x)<-get((paste(“P”,as.character(test_sample),sep="")))[,1] + } This would not work probably because x is simply a name instead of a data.frame variable(Error: "attempt to set 'rownames' on an object with no dimensions"). But I could not find the right way out… How should I solve it? Thanks!
