Hello,
I am trying to use a for loop to name objects in each iteraction. As in the
following example (which doesn't work quite well)
my_list<-c("A","B","C","D","E","F")
for(i in c(1:length(my_list))){
url<- "http://finance.yahoo.com";
doc = htmlTreeParse(url, useInternalNodes = T)
tab_nodes = xpathApply(doc, "//table[@cellpadding = '3']")
*my_list[i]*=lapply(tab_nodes, readHTMLTable) #problem is in this line
names(*my_list[i]*)=c("Ins","outs")
}
The problem is that in iteraction #1, I need the info to be stored at an
object called "A"; At iteraction #2 at object called "B"... and so on....
Any idea/help?
thank you in advance!
