Re: [R] writing function : can't find an object

2010-05-26 Thread Ivan Calandra
Hi, The first problem (I think) is your for loop: for (i in sel), what is "sel"?! Then you might want to write "position[i]" and "trade[i]" (I don't think that position and trade are functions, or they are in a package you don't specify). Depending on the class of position and trade, you might

My guess is that either ls(), called inside grep() or mget() is looking in an environment you do not want it to. When you create a function, it has it's own environment. If you want the dataframes to be created inside the function call (which is what I think you were doing before), you should set

Hello, I am guessing by my environment you mean the global environment (where you normally assign things from the console). It also looks like you would like the results of your function call to be a set of new objects created. If that is what you are looking for, try: toto <- function(x,y) { f

Hi, the problem is not about the environment, but about the paste(c("tot", i), collapse = "") which is not recognized as an object. Maybe assign() could do the trick You could also do it this way (though it's not exactly what you want, but it might be better): toto <- function(x,y){ tot
