I am trying to make a dataframe with a specific name.

Now I have a fileList:

> fileList

[1] "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_10Hz.txt" "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_15Hz.txt"
[3] "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_20Hz.txt" "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_25Hz.txt"
[5] "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_5Hz.txt"

fileList[i] represents a name of each dataframe including numeric values, and I would like to make another dataframe by

dat <- fileList[i]

But, this results in as below

> dat
[1] "ml17_280_Glide_Day1-1.1_10Hz.txt"

How can I copy the dataframe to another?

Did you mean `dat <- read.table(fileList[i])` ? Are they files or they are dataframe objects in R? – zx8754 Mar 26 '19 at 09:38

Thank you for your comment. They are dataframe objects in R. – imtaiky Mar 26 '19 at 10:11
Then maybe `dat <- get(fileList[i])` ? – zx8754 Mar 26 '19 at 10:21
This works! I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much. – imtaiky Mar 27 '19 at 02:45
