Hi everyone,
I try to add many vectors (L1,L2,L3....) to many list objects
(a.list, b.list....) in a workspace. Somethings like below, but it
is not working. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Best, John
lf=ls(pattern=".lst")
for (x in listfiles) {
dat=read.delim(x,header=F)
Presumably that would fail since 'listfiles' has not been defined. did
you mean 'lf'? If you did,then wouldn't the second line overwrite all
the early values of "dat" leaving only the last one?
Perhaps:
datfils <- list()
for (x in listfiles) {
datfils[x] <- read.delim(x,header=F)
for (i in 1: lf) {
And that would fail because 'lf' is a character vector, and it's not
meaningful to specify such a range. Try instead:
for (i in names(datfils[x]) ) {
#
# which will then iterate over the names of the files which are now
also the names of the list elements
assign(i$add,as.numeric(dat[,3]))
But since 'i' is a length-1 character vector, the expression `i$add`
will be meaningless. The "$" operator does not do function calling in
R unless you do fancy things with environments, and you cannot "sub-
assign" in that manner, at least not with the assign() function.
Try instead:
assign(i, as.numeric(datfils[x][,3]))
names(i)[length(i)] <- "add"
Or:
i <- transform(i, add=datfils[x][,3] )
#or i$add=as.numeric(dat[,3]
names(i)[names(i)=="add"]=substr(x,1,5)
I'm not sure these would be doing the same thing. What was your goal
here?
print (i[1:3,])
}
}
