This is a little bit more 'magic' than I would like, but seems to work. Perhaps someone else can suggest a cleaner solution. ages <- gsub("[^0-9]+","",table1$var1) rel <- gsub("age\\s*([=<>]+)\\s*[0-9]+","\\1",table1$var1,perl=TRUE) with(table1,plot(var2,1:11,xlim=c(0,20),pch=20)) invisible(with(table1, mapply(function(x,y,a,r) { text(x=x,y=y, switch(r, `<=`=bquote(age <= .(a)), `<`=bquote(age < .(a)), `>=`=bquote(age >= .(a))), pos=4)}, var2,1:11,ages,rel))) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
