Dear All, Thank you very much for your help! Carlo -----Original Message----- From: Wensui Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 29/01/2007 15:39 To: Rosa,C Cc: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] Loop with string variable AND customizable "summary" output Carlo,
try something like: for (i in c("UK","USA")) { summ<-summary(lm(y ~ x), subset = (country = i)) assign(paste('output', i, sep = ''), summ); } (note: it is untested, sorry).
