Dear R People: Suppose I have the following character string:
> f1 [1] "(1/30)*(20-x)" My goal is to end up with y <- (1/30)*(20-x) How would I do this, please? I've been experimenting with eval, but no good so far. As usual, I have the feeling that this is something really simple, but I can't quite get it. Thank you in advance for any help.
