I already answered a very similar question earlier today. It was in the context of a question about a different regression function, but the formula methods are generic. Look for "Question on passing in parameter to Cox hazard".

(That does not mean I approve of such fishing expeditions.)

Dear R-ers,
I have a data frame data with predictors x1 through x5 and the
response variable y.
I am running a simple regression:

reg<-lm(y~x1, data=data)

I would like to loop through all predictors. Something like:
predictors<-c("x1","x2",... "x10)
for(i in predictors){
 reg<-lm(y~i)
etc.
}

But it's not working. I am getting an error:
Error in model.frame.default(formula = Y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 + i, data = sample, :
 variable lengths differ (found for 'i')

How can I make it take predictor names in the lm formula?
Thank you!
