In HanOostdijk/HOQCutil: Utilities by Han Oostdijk

assign values to multiple variables

Description

assign values to multiple variables

Usage

massign(..., values = NULL, envir = parent.frame())

n %ma% v

Arguments

...	One or more names that can be used as variable names.
values	Values that are replicated where needed to assign to the variable names
envir	The environment in which the values are assigned (bound) to the variable names
n	Character vector with variable names.
v	Values that are replicated where needed to assign to the variable names

Acknowledgement

I encountered this function in a contribution by Tommy (https://stackoverflow.com/users/662787/tommy) in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7519790/assign-multiple-new-variables-on-lhs-in-a-single-line. I adapted the function slightly to allow a character vector for the first argument and derived the binary operator %ma% from it. I also changed the name of the function from vassign to massign because the relevant feature is assignment to multiple variables.

Examples

## Not run: 
massign(aa,bb, values= c(16,30) )
c('aa','bb') %ma% c(16,30)

## End(Not run)
