Dear all, I am trying to manually re-sort rows in a number of tables. The rows aren't sorted on any particular values but are simply ordered by user choice (as shown by the row numbers in the code). I have been able to carry out each re-arrangement without the use of the 'for' loop, but cannot seem to successfully execute the statements when incorporated into the loop. The code I have is as follows:
table_year=1951 for (i in (paste("arunoff_",year,"_temp",sep=""))) { assign(paste("arunoff_",table_year, sep=""),paste("arunoff_",table_year,"_temp")[c(10,7,9,5,4,12,1,3,2,8,11,6),]) table_year = table_year+1 } The error I get is: Error in paste("arunoff_", table_year, "_temp")[c(10, 7, 9, 5, 4, 12, : incorrect number of dimensions ...depsite this not occurring when I do each table individually (so it can't be a case of there not being enough rows, as> dim(arunoff_1951_temp) gives [1] 12 11 I have a feeling that it may be a syntax error, possibly between 'temp' and the square bracket, but I can't be sure of this. Any solutions or advice offered would be gratefully received. Many thanks, Steve _________________________________________________________________ [[elided Hotmail spam]] ______________________________________________ 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.
