One of my hypotheses of what you want is:
for(code in codes) {
get(code)
}
The other one is:
for(code in codes) {
as.name(code)
}

How can I dynamically use a variable as the name for another variable?
I realize this sounds cryptic, so an example is best:
#Start with an array of "codes"
codes<- c("a1", "b24", "q99")
#Each code has a corresponding matrix (could be vector)
a1<- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=10)
b24<- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=10)
q99<- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=10)
#Now, I want to loop through all the codes and do something with each matrix
for(code in codes){
#here is where I'm stuck. I don't want the value of code, but the
variable who's name is the value of code
}
Any suggestions?
