Off topic:Variable definition in R

Question

[Shaurya Jauhari]

Hi everyone.

I have the following line of code where R rejects the expression on the left to be treated as an assignee variable.

for (i in 1:length(my_list)){
paste(eval(parse(text='names(my_list[i])')),"table",sep="") <- read.table(paste("./foo/",paste(eval(parse(text='names(my_list[i])')),".csv",sep=""),sep=""))
}

Any comments you would like to make here.

Thanks. SJ.

Edit:

Just to add, the exception reported is:

Error in paste(eval(parse(text = "names(my_list[i])")), "table", sep = "") <- read.table(paste("./foo/",  : 
  target of assignment expands to non-language object
