[R] Applying function to lots of separate data sets

[Laura Quinn]

I have a total mental block and can't find my way around this seemingly
simple problem:

I have created a function such that:

my_answer_1=myfuntion(my_input_1)

I am wanting to perform this calculation over a large number of datasets,
but am having real difficulty calling and assigning - i think the problem
les in the fact that I need to paste for call and assign.

this is my best attempt so far..I can't seem to find a way around this...

for(i in 1:50)
eval(parse(text=paste("my_answer_",i,
    "<-myfunction(text=paste("my_input_",i,sep=""))",sep="")))

can someone please point out where i am going wrong?

Thanks in advance..
