I am trying to automate the way i read my tables. I have an Excel sheet I'm reading using openxlsx package. The sheet contains over 30 sheets, i would like to save each of them as separate objects.
my workflow for now is as such: wb <- loadWorkbook(xlsxFile = "Output/Up_Down_Regulated_Gene_Lists.xlsx") NAMES <- gsub(pattern = " ", replacement = "_", x = names(wb)) [1] "KO1_vs._WT_up" "KO2_vs._WT_down" "KO3_vs._WT_up" "KO1_vs._WT_down" "KO2_vs._WT_up" ... for (i in 2:length(names(wb)) ){ tmp <- read.xlsx(wb, sheet = i) ... Here I would like to have each sheet read in and sacved as a separate data.frame. } Is there a way to read for each sheet the name from names(wb) and convert it to a name for the object? something like this The object KO1_vs._WT_up will save the first sheet with the same name The object KO2_vs._WT_down will save the second sheet. etc. Any ideas? thanks Assa [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
