Dear r-helpers,
I am looking for an R-equivalent for the eval-function in javascript which
can
interpret a string as code on runtime, thereby allowing things like
for (i in c(1:2))
{
eval(items + "i") <- read.csv(eval(filename+ i), dec=",");
}
which would execute (with filename="testfile"):
items1 <- read.csv(testfile1, dec=",");
items2 <- read.csv(testfile2, dec=",");
The way I intend to use it is to define a string list containing names of
date.frames,
and interate this list to perform some function:
createTable <- function(latentVariableNames)
{
for (currentName in names(latentVariableNames))
{
doSomethingWith(currentName)
}
}
Would be grateful for any help!
