Dear R community, I wish to include a variable (e.g. slice of "a" below)
in another variable's name. My objective would be to get a variable-name
"data_A" and so on. How can I do this?
> a<-LETTERS[1:25]
> a
[1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J" "K" "L" "M" "N" "O" "P" "Q" "R"
"S" "T" "U" "V" "W" "X" "Y"
> paste("data_",a[1])<-c(1,2,3)
Error in paste("data", a[1]) <- c(1, 2, 3) :
target of assignment expands to non-language object
Thank you and wishing you an excellent day!
Georg.
