I have multiple data frame objects, for instance df1, df2 and so on. I want to use a for loop to save and write these files to dta, but I can't figure out where to start. Should I save the data frame objects to a list, and then save them? For instance:
a = list()
# write for loop saving each data frame objects to a list then
f = c("df1","df2" .. )
end = ".RDA"
for (i in length(a)) {
for (f in filenames) {
save(a[[i]],file = paste("~/Panel",filename,end,sep="")
}
}
If you want to save multiple data frames to ONE rda file, you don't need for loops:
a <- list(d1, d2)
save(a, file = paste("~/Panel/",filename,end,sep=""))
If you want to save the data frames one by one to .rda files and use a for loop, you can create a named list and then use these names in the loop to name the files:
df1 <- data.frame(a = rnorm(5), b = rnorm(5))
df2 <- data.frame(c = rnorm(5), d = rnorm(5))
files <- list(df1=df1, df2=df2)
for(f in 1:length(files)) {
save(f, file = paste0(names(files[f]), ".rda"))
}
