Yes, but if the OP wants to assign the values to "ineed" (which I
think is the request), he'll need get()
Perhaps. I assumed he wanted to load 'phones'. (That's what he said he
wanted.)
If he did this :
ineed <- get(data(list = arg))
... he would then have two copies of the same data in his workspace
that differed only in name.

Perhaps something like

I think the get() is superfluous:
rm(phones)
exists("phones")
[1] FALSE
data(list=arg, package="MASS")
exists("phones")
[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.
