Yes, I think you are overcomplicating: it's perfectly valid to
subscript by names. (In fact, it's generally preferred to trying to
use the $ for programming because it's so much more flexible) I.e.,
lapply( phList, function(df) get(df)[, c("ID", "DATE_DISPENSED",
"TG_NAME1", "TG_NAME2", "TG_NAME3"
Hi all,
I want to loop through a series of data frames and append them into one data
frame, however I do not want all columns of the original data frames to be
in the new data frame. I have the following code:
phList<-c('ph2010','ph2009','ph2008','ph2007','ph2006') #Name of original
data frames
2 matches
