I am writing a function where the arguments are names of objects or variable
names in a data frame. To convert the strings to the objects I am using
eval(parse(text=name)):
f.graph.two.vbs<-function(dataname,v1){
val<-paste(dataname,v1,sep="$")
val<-eval(parse(text=val))
val
}
However running this returns an error:
>f.graph.two.vbs("data","RECORD")
Error in data$RECORD : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
Repeating the individual commands in the workspace does work though.. Do I
need to pass the object data in the arguments for this to work?
Thanks,
Jorge
