I need an efficient way to convert to lowercase the column names of a number of data frames.
Suppose we have:
df1 <- data.frame(VAR1=c(1,2), VAR2=c("a", "b"))
df2 <- data.frame(VAR1=c(TRUE,FALSE), VAR2=c("foo", "bar"))
A simple way to get what I want is:
names(df1) <- tolower(names(df1))
names(df2) <- tolower(names(df2))
A little tedious if you have a large number of data frames, though.
I need something better.
I thought I could use get() in a loop:
my.files <- ls()
for(i in 1:2) names(get(my.files[i])) <- tolower(names(get(my.files[i])))
but it doesn't work. I couldn't find a solution using lapply() either.
Any suggestion to modify the column names of a large number of data frames without too much coding?
