[R] Output table from for loop

[bmoran]

Hi, this might be basic but can't get it to work and it is hampering my R
usage:

#the loop is checking variance of rows, and cutting out rows with
var>numVec[i]
#I define outMat as object names I want to output to (does this make sense?
how else
#can I define sequential numbered output?)
#numVec is numbers I use in the loop

head(Counts)

             AN1  AN2   AN3   AN4   var
GENE1      99     0     6      0      2360
GENE2    183   136   137    160   496
GENE3    301   199   233    187   1856

outMat<-paste("NewCounts", 1:5, sep="_") #names of 
numVec<-c(100,200,500,1000,1500)
cutGenes<-function(x) {
	for (i in 1:5) {
		keep<- Counts$var<numVec[i] #gives logical vector
		keep<-Counts[keep=="TRUE",] #apply logical vector to count data (table)
		outMat[i]<-keep
}
}

#this all works fine if I define 'outMat[i]' as 'outMat' but then I can't
use the loop! The loop seems to make #outMat[i] take the i element of 'keep'
and only stores this. 

#Help much appreciated, sorry if it is VERY basic, just a head scratcher for
me.

Thanks,

Bruce.
