Rbind not working when including dynamic variable through assign function

Question

My line of code is

df1<-rbind(df1,assign(paste(x,"_name_",_Date,sep=""),Result))

Basically

assign(paste(x,"_name_",_Date,sep=""),Result)

is the same as

df2

When i do

df1<-rbind(df1,df2)

it works but this needs to be dynamic and constantly changing as i do these updates weekly.

Answer 1

We need get to return the value from the object name string i.e. assign only assign it to an object and it doesn't return the value.

rbind(df1, {
       nm1 <- paste(x,"_name_",_Date,sep="")
       assign(nm1, Result)
       get(nm1)})

Using a small reproducible example

rbind(head(iris), {
       nm1 <- 'newobj'
       assign(nm1, tail(iris))
       get(nm1)})
