Thank you, it works for the first problem!

Yet for the second problem, how can I solve that in one dataframe (here:
latentVariableNames),
I store the names of the according dataframes as strings, and then want to
access the
according dataframe (here: currentName) - see below?

latentVariables <- c("Planning", "Testing", ...)
createTable <- function(latentVariableNames)
{
for (currentName in names(latentVariableNames))

... but, but, latentVariables is a name-less vector???? You didn't give those strings any names.

> latentVariables <- c("Planning", "Testing")
> names(latentVariables)
NULL

If you want to iterate along a character vector, you use:

for (item in vector) {
              < body of loop working on item's >
                     }
OR;

for (idx in seq_along(latentVariables) ) {
         < operations on  latentVariables[idx] >
             }

(Review the basic manuals you are using to learn R.)

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!
