[R] Loop over several Variables, add on question

[bchr]

Hey everyone,
I have again a loop question: 
After generating the dataset using Jan’s approach from my previous posting
(http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Loop-over-several-variables-td4648112.html) I
want to rename the Variables in the new dataset so that all y will be called
tiy. Doing it separately the following line works fine:

ti<-rename (ti,c(y5="tiy5"))

So I thought I simply extend to the following and the loop will be fine:

ti<-rename (ti,c([paste0("y", 1:5)] = [paste0("tiy", 1:5)]))

However, this will give me the following error message:

Error: unexpected '[' in "ti<-rename (ti,c(["

Removing the “[“ I then used the following line

ti<-rename (ti,c(paste0("y", 1:5) = paste0("tiy", 1:5)))

This provoked the following error:

Error: unexpected '=' in "ti<-rename (ti,c(paste0("y", 1:5) ="

I did some playing around with the brackets but I could not stop R from
sending an error about the equal sign. Anybody any Idea where my mistake
might be?

Thanks in advance
Bernhard
