Dear all, I've been trying to implement the advice given to me, but without much success so far. I thought I'd provide the code in full in the hope that it might make more sense. Just to reiterate, I'm attempting to change the header of the 4th column of every table to "COUNT".
year<- 1951:2000 filelist <- paste("C:\\Data\\arunoff_",year,".txt", sep="") filelist # Assign file names to individual objects table_year=1951 for (i in filelist) { assign(paste("arunoff_",table_year,"_temp", sep=""),read.table(file=i, header=TRUE, sep=",")) print(c("LOADED FILE: ","arunoff_",table_year,"_temp"), quote=FALSE) table_year = table_year+1 } # RE-FORMAT DATA # Change names of particular column headings colnames(assign(paste("arunoff_",table_year, sep=""))[4],"COUNT") Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks as ever, Steve _________________________________________________________________ [[elided Hotmail spam]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
