get() is your friend. Try: for (x in 1:length(plot)) { thisdf <- paste("auto.", plot[x], sep="") plot(thisdf[, 1], thisdf[, 2], col=...) }

Hello, I need a command. I have a lot of data in different dataframes(auto.0a, auto.0b, auto.0c, auto.5Na,...), that has similar names. I could print the names all at once wih a loop with the command paste(), see below: plot<-c("0a","0b","0c","5Na","5Nb","5Nc","PKa","PKb","PKc","5NPKa","5NPKb", "5NPKc","10NPKa","10NPKb","10NPKc","20NPKa","20NPKb","20NPKc") for (x in 1:length(plot)) { name<-paste("auto.",plot[x],sep="") print(name) } I want to do very similar things with all the dataframes and their structure is also the same. Is there a way to write a loop? (so that I don't have to write the same 18 times) I tried things like that: for (x in 1:length(plot)) { plot(paste("auto.",plot[x],sep="")[,1],paste("auto.",plot[x],sep="")[,2],col=...) } But it doesn't work because it just takes the character "auto.0a".
