Thank you, it works for the first problem! Yet for the second problem, how can I solve that in one dataframe (here: latentVariableNames), I store the names of the according dataframes as strings, and then want to access the according dataframe (here: currentName) - see below?
latentVariables <- c("Planning", "Testing", ...) createTable <- function(latentVariableNames) { for (currentName in names(latentVariableNames)) { doSomethingWith(currentName) } } On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 8:36 PM, Henrique Dallazuanna <www...@gmail.com>wrote: > Try this: > > fileName <- "testfile%s" > lapply(sprintf(fileName, 1:2), read.csv, dec = ",") > > On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 5:28 PM, Chaehan So <chaehan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear r-helpers, > > > > I am looking for an R-equivalent for the eval-function in javascript > which > > can > > interpret a string as code on runtime, thereby allowing things like > > > > for (i in c(1:2)) > > { > > > > eval(items + "i") <- read.csv(eval(filename+ i), dec=","); > > > > } > > > > which would execute (with filename="testfile"): > > > > items1 <- read.csv(testfile1, dec=","); > > items2 <- read.csv(testfile2, dec=","); > > > > > > The way I intend to use it is to define a string list containing names of > > date.frames, > > and interate this list to perform some function: > > > > createTable <- function(latentVariableNames) > > { > > for (currentName in names(latentVariableNames)) > > { > > doSomethingWith(currentName) > > } > > } > > > > > > Would be grateful for any help! > > > > Chaehan > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > > > ______________________________________________ > > 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. > > > > > > -- > Henrique Dallazuanna > Curitiba-Paraná-Brasil > 25° 25' 40" S 49° 16' 22" O > -- Humboldt University Berlin, Germany Institute of Psychology Rudower Chaussee 18, Room 1221 12489 Berlin Germany Office: +49 30 2093 - 9337 Mobile: +49 171- 626 9373 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
