R help - Dec 2011 - Load Libraries from list

Hi

How can I load libraries from a list containing the library names?

Something like this

ListOfLibraries=c("foreign","survival")

for (in in 1:length(ListOfLibraries)){library(as.name(ListOfLibraries[i]))}

I already tried this  with no results.


Any help appreciated. 

Thanks

Read the help for library and you'll see there's an option to help
you. Also, use lapply to iterate over lists. Also also, they're
PACKAGES!

lapply(ListOfLibraries,function(x){library(x,character.only=TRUE)})
