[R] change column names of several data frames

[Henrik Parn]

Dear all,

I have several data frames for which I want to change the column names.

Example data:
data.1 <- data.frame(x1 = rnorm(5))
data.2 <- data.frame(x1 = rnorm(5))
.
.


What I want to achieve:
names(data.1) <- "y1"
names(data.1) <- "y1"
.
.


Is it possible to achieve this with a loop or any of the apply-functions?


Some (out of several...) unsuccessful attempts using for-loops instead:
for(i in 1:2)
names(get(paste("data", i, sep = "."))) <- "y1"

for(i in 1:2)
assign(paste("data", i, sep="."), names(get(paste("natal", i, sep = 
"."))) <- "y1")


Thanks in advance!
