Hi, I' ve read in several files with measurements into R data frames(works flawlessly). Each dataframe is named by the location of measurement and contains hundreds of rows and about 50 columns like this
dataframe1. date measurment_1 .... mesurement_n 1 2 3 .. .. .. n For further processing I need to check whether or not ncol and colnames are the same for all dataframes. Also I need to add a new column to each dataframe with contain the name of the dataframe, so that this column can be treated as factor in later processing (after merging some seleted dataframes to one) I tried out for (i in 1:length(ls()){ print(ncol(ls()[i]) } but this does not work because r returns a "character" for i and therefore "NULL" as result. Reading the output of ls() into a list also does not work. How can I accomplish this task??
