Dear users,
My problem concerns save() within a for loop.
Here is my code:
for (i in 1:4) {
temp <- data.frame(a=(i+1):(i+10), b=LETTERS[(i+1):(i+10)])
filename <- paste("file", i, sep="")
assign(filename, temp)
save(filename, file=paste(filename, ".rda", sep=""))
}
As you can see, save() doesn't work as I would like: (1) the object
saved is called "filename" (instead of "file1", "file2", etc), and (2)
it of course contains only the name (as character) instead of the data.frame
How can I fix it?
I usually use lists for such cases, but (1) in the real thing, it gets
complicated with the names and structure (because I want to save lists
with 3 dimensions instead of simple data.frames, as in this example) and
(2) I prefer saving each list separately (and I cannot save only one
element of an object either).
I'm not sure I'm really clear because it's difficult for me to explain
it, but I hope you'll understand (and let me know what you would help
you to understand)
Thank you in advance
Ivan
