Hello, I have programmed in PHP a lot, and wanted to know if anyone figured out Variable variables using R.
For example, I have several dataframes of unequal sizes that relate to L treatments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, L) ... in this case L=7 fData.1 unique.1 fit.nls.1 summary.nls.1 fit.var.1 summary.var.1 ..... fData.2 unique.2 fit.nls.2 summary.nls.2 fit.var.2 summary.var.2 ..... fData.L unique.L fit.nls.L summary.nls.L fit.var.L summary.var.L ========= I want to do something like for(i in 1:L-1) { dataStr = gsub(' ','',paste("fData.",i)); dataVar = eval(dataStr); ## GOAL is to grab data frame 'fData.1' and do stuff with it, then in next loop grab data frame 'fData.2' and do stuff with it } ############# in PHP, I would define the string $dataStr = "final.1" and then $dataVar = $$dataStr which is a variable variables use. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer or suggest. My current solution is to write code in PHP that generates lots of R code. I would like to do it all in R, so I don't have to rely on another language. monte {x: [[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.
