[R] Iterative data.frame

[Ott Toomet]

Hi,

how do you generate your data frames?  By reading from file or combining
variables by data.frame()?  In the last case you can use args like
tag=value.  

I would use a list instead of auto-generating names:
m <- vector("list", 6)
for(i in 1:6) 
  m[[i]] <- data.frame(...)

If you really have to construct an unique name, use assign().

For merging, I would use either rbind() or cbind(), depending whether you
have the same variables or observations.

Perhaps it helps.

Ott
