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! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Using-a-FOR-LOOP-to-name-objects-tp4430454p4430454.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
