How to apply same operation to multiple data frames in dplyr-R?

Question

I would like to apply the same operation to multiple data frames in \'R\' but cannot get how to deal with this matter.

This is an example of pipe operat

If you turn your operation into a function:

library(dplyr)
my_fun <- function(x) { 
      x %>%       
          mutate(Sepal=rowSums(select(.,starts_with("Sepal"))),
          Length=rowSums(select(.,ends_with("Length"))),
          Width=rowSums(select(.,ends_with("Width"))))
}

You can pipe a list of data frames to it easily:

result <- list( iris, iris2, iris3 ) %>%
    lapply( my_fun )
