ff<-formula("x~g*h") (foo<-eval(substitute(ff,list(x=as.name("weights"))))) gives x ~ g * h what needs to be done to ff for the substitution to work? I found a way of doing it using string substitution and applying formula (instead of as.call) to the string, but I would like to be able to do it using substitution. This is what I currently do: myexpr<-paste("weights ~",strsplit(deparse(m$formula),"~")[[1]][2]) m$formula<-formula(myexpr) -- Erich Neuwirth, Didactic Center for Computer Science University of Vienna Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at Phone: +43-1-4277-39902 Fax: +43-1-4277-9399 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
