Hello, does anyone know the solution to this problem: I imported a dataframe from Spss into R and saved it as an object called "kinderrechte". I have got the following command lines: q1 <- kinderrechte[,"q0007_0001"] l1 <- q0007_0001_l now i would like to be able to change the column name in the first command line (e.g. into q0007_0002) and to get R to automatically change q0007_0001_l in the second command line into q0007_0002_l without using a loop. Thank you in advance for your help! Marion [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
for (i in names(kinderrechte)){ q1 <- kinderrechte[, i] i 1 <- get(i) } On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 4:47 AM, Marion Wenty <marion.wenty at gmail.com> wrote:> Hello, > > does anyone know the solution to this problem: > > I imported a dataframe from Spss into R and saved it as an object called > "kinderrechte". > > I have got the following command lines: > > q1 <- kinderrechte[,"q0007_0001"] > l1 <- q0007_0001_l > > now i would like to be able to change the column name in the first command > line (e.g. into q0007_0002) and to get R to automatically change > q0007_0001_l in the second command line into q0007_0002_l without using a > loop. > > Thank you in advance for your help! > > Marion > > ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
did not see the "_l" so changes below: On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 8:33 AM, jim holtman <jholtman at gmail.com> wrote:> for (i in names(kinderrechte)){ > ? ?q1 <- kinderrechte[, i] > ? ?i 1 <- get(paste(i, "_l", sep = "")) > } > > On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 4:47 AM, Marion Wenty <marion.wenty at gmail.com> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> does anyone know the solution to this problem: >> >> I imported a dataframe from Spss into R and saved it as an object called >> "kinderrechte". >> >> I have got the following command lines: >> >> q1 <- kinderrechte[,"q0007_0001"] >> l1 <- q0007_0001_l >> >> now i would like to be able to change the column name in the first command >> line (e.g. into q0007_0002) and to get R to automatically change >> q0007_0001_l in the second command line into q0007_0002_l without using a >> loop. >> >> Thank you in advance for your help! >> >> Marion >> >> ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] >> >> ______________________________________________ >> R-help at r-project.org mailing list >> https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >> PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >> and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >> > > > > -- > Jim Holtman > Data Munger Guru > > What is the problem that you are trying to solve? >-- Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
