Why variables has to be of the form some.variable but not some_variable? I have my local convention of having the file names and the variable names following the same convention, for the reason that I may save a variable in a file and it is easier to find the variable if the variable and the file name follow the same convention. For example, save(list='x_x_x', file='x_x_x.RData') I other programming language like C++, there is no confusion introduced by having the same convention on file names and variables. I'm wondering why a different convention is chosen for R. ______________________________________________ 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.
