i have a function that returns a list containing a variety of variable types
i am trying to run the function multiple times and return the output into a
variable with a semi-consistent naming pattern
i.e., for ten trials i want to return the list into variables
trial1,trial2,...trial10
is there a generic way to get this to happen
i have a similar process that does the same thing to an external file:
paste("connection", trial, ".net", sep="")
-> outfile
write(header, file=outfile, ncolumns=2)
write("*Edges", file=outfile, append=TRUE)
write(connection, file=outfile, ncolumns=2, append=TRUE)
where trial progresses so that these outputs are written to
connection1.net, coneection2.net and so forth
i am having a tough time figuring out how to do the same for a variable
within R
thanks
and sorry, i just couldn't figure out the right place to look for this one.
