Hi Gabor, Thanks for the code, it's what I was looking for. The route I was thinking about was to use, based on your code, the names from my.data.frames as a pointer to the actually dataframes.
I was envisioning something like a <- data.frame(1:10) b <- data.frame(10:1) c <- data.frame(letters[1:20]) my.data.frames <- c("a", "b", "c") for (i in length(my.data.frames)) { function(my.data.frames[[i]]*, arguments) } with my.data.frame[[i]]* acting as a pointer to the actual data.frame. Is it possible to create pointers from a list of data frame names to the actual data frames? Thanks for the help.
