OK, this really basic. How do I add an element to a (named) list in R?
EDIT
when the key name is a varibale
for (name in names(list$filenames)) {
filename <- list$filenames[[name]]
x <- read.table(filename)
ret$name <- x # I want name to be interpreted here, not use "name"
}
Perhaps
ret<-lapply(list$filenames,read.table)will be better?
