[R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables

[Wolfgang Grond]

As I wrote before, I calculate tbl_graph objects, which will be joined afterwards. Not too much, the number of graphs to calculate is in the range between 5 to 20.

Further steps are not automated, because they depend on how the single graphs look like, and which of them will be joined.

For this reason I thought it would be nice to have the single tbl_ graph objects stored in variables having the name of the graph.

For this reason I tried to find a better solution instead of assigning each graph by hand:

subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET)

To my understanding it is therefore neccessary to assign the result of the function to a variable whose name consists of a fixed string and the content of a further variable.

That was the intention for me to ask.
