How can I create a loop to create a new variable for different dataframes
Solution 1:
It may be better to load the datasets into a list
and then perform the operation at once and store the output in a list
instead of creating more objects in the global env
library(purrr)
library(dplyr)
lst1 <- mget(ls(pattern = "^m.*\\d+_\\d+$")) %>%
map(~ .x %>%
mutate(hhid = xa * 10^5 + hoso))
If we need to update the original object, use list2env
on the output list
list2env(lst1, .GlobalEnv)
