Lee,
Set (=) has a higher precedence Than Function (&). So all you have to do is
add parentheses.
parameters = {{a, b, c}, {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};
MapThread[(#1 = #2) & , {parameters[[1]], parameters[[3]]}]
{4, 5, 6}

Hello,
Situation: I have a table that contains parameters and sets of values
that I want to assign to the parameters for the purposes of running a
simulation.
- parameters = {{a,b,c},{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}
- want to assign values in a given row to the symbols listed in the
first row.
- tried using: MapThread[ #1 = #2 &, {parameters[[1]], parameters[[3]]} ]
- fails with error "Tag Slot in #1 is Protected"
- tried adding Unprotect[#1] and a variety of other attemps, but can't
get it to work.
Anyone know how might accomplish this?
Thanks,
Lee
