R help - Aug 2010 - Results with name of dataset

I generate and save a dataset

For example

exampledata<-runif(10)
library("R.utils");
saveObject(exampledata, file="exampledata_9810.RData");

exampledata_9810<- loadObject("exampledata_9810.RData");

I use ex function to make alot of calculations using sink to export results
(in this simply example only summary of dataset)

ex<-function(data){
sink(paste("data",'Example.txt'))
print(summary(data))
}

ex(data=exampledata_9810)


Function ex works fine BUT I don't want the file of results to have the name
"data Example" but
"exampledata_9810 Example"
How can I do this?

Thanks for your help

Evgenia

Do you mean that you want the filename to be based on the name of the
object passed to the function ?  If so, try this...

ex<-function(data) {
  sink(paste(deparse(substitute(data)), ' Example.txt'))
  print(summary(data))
}

Yes, this is exactly want I want.
