Re: [R] Remove objects names like character String
I don't get the error you mention:
> site1_data<-1
> site2_data<-2
> site3_data<-3
> for (i in 1:3) paste("site",i,"_data",sep="")

In my example, another way is: rm(list=paste("site",1:3,"_data",sep=""))
Or you can use rm(list=ls(pattern=you pattern)), in my example, it is:
rm(list=ls(pattern="site[1-3]_data"))

Well, I would try to avoid the creation of so many objects, but once you
have them you can do even without a loop:
e.g. for the first 5:
i <- 1:5
do.call("rm", list(paste("site", i, "_data", sep="")))

[R] Remove objects names like character String
Hi,
how can I use rm() on objects named like:
paste("site",i,"_data",sep="") while looping
through i?
I tried rm(paste("site",i,"_data",sep="")) but I get the error that
rm() must contain names or
text strings which is confusing me as I thought paste() would create
something like that...?
Thanks,
Katharina
