Dear all, I'm creating a list (which is a tbl_graph) by a function, and assign the result to a variable:
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET) # MYSUBNET: a tbl_graph Because there are multiple subnets to create, I can get the names of the subnets (MYSUBNET1, MYSUBNET2, MYSUBNET3, etc.) from a row in a dataframe column. subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(datatable$column[i]) Because I know how many subnets to create - nrow(dataframe) I want to assign the subnets to variables whose names contain the name of the subnet For this to work I have to assign a variable name which is contained in an other variable name: ################# for(i in 1:nrow(datatable)) { val <- datatable$column[i] result <- assign(paste("subnet_", val, sep = "") result <- my_function(val) } this works in bash, but seems not to work in R - I don't succeed at least. Am I wrong? Where is my mistake? Many thanks in advance for any hint.
