I am trying to import several different SAS transport files into R.
I know
how to get the files into R as data frames, however, I don't want to
do this
one at a time for all ~60 data sets. I also want to convert the name
from
file name to something I can understand (e.g., from q181 to
doctor.visits.2008).
I created a vector with the new names what I was was hoping to do was
something like
for (i in 1:NROW(vector.with.names){
paste(vector.with.names[i], sep = "") <- read.xport('file_path',
xport_file_name, sep = "")
}
?get
?assign
Each part will paste what I want (e.g, doctor.visits.2008) and the
correct
file path and name, however, I get the error that R cannot find
paste<-. I
also tried using noquote() but that didn't fix it, but it did create
a char
vector that had the code I would need to run.
I have to think there is an easy way to do it but being a relative
newbie to
R, I can't seem to figure it out.
