Perhaps something like

get(data(list = arg))

I think the get() is superfluous:

[1] FALSE

[1] TRUE

I am trying to use datasets within R with a loaded package, for example, MASS. When I use the dataset phones, it can be done using data(phones, package=”MASS”). I am thinking about an alternative but more flexible way to load this dataset. Because phones is the 70th dataset in this package, I wrote the following codes. Unfortunately they don’t work. It will be greatly appreciated if someone can help me figure out.
