But the called function deals with two different data object (matrix, data frame, etc.), so I could not make the second function output  data object-free (for example, Ý would like to write csv files but could not give different file names) and I would like to get object name. Is it possible to get data object's name. And if it is possible, how can I assign this name as an new data object name with an extra addition, for example, data objects name+"2".
