dear Valerie,

This is a simple R question, but I can't seem to find the answer. I'm
assuming ExperimentHub wants object created by save() and not
saveRDS().

In make-data.R, I have a loop where I programmatically make a
GAlignmentPairs object for each of 4 samples. I'm then using assign()
to assign the value to an appropriate name, e.g.

assign(sample.name[i], x)

where x is a GAlignmentPairs object I've made.

I'm having trouble though saving this to a file. My first try was:

save(sample.name[i], file=paste0(sample.name[i],".rda"))

But this gives:

Error in save(sample.name[i], file = ...
  object 'sample.name[i]' not found

I also tried get(), but it's also giving the "not found" error.

save(get(sample.name[i]), file=paste0(sample.name[i],".rda"))


thanks
Mike
