Christof, This isn't quite what you asked for, but perhaps you will find it useful. You could save the conditions by putting them in a function. Then you could apply that function to any data frame with the reference variables.
For example, check.conditions <- function(df) { cbind(a=df$day > 100, b=df$val < 50, c=df$year==2012) } mydf <- data.frame(day=c(20, 50, 100, 70, 80, 130), val=c(1, 7, 70, 20, 55, 30), year=2011:2016) check.conditions(mydf) a b c [1,] FALSE TRUE FALSE [2,] FALSE TRUE TRUE [3,] FALSE FALSE FALSE [4,] FALSE TRUE FALSE [5,] FALSE FALSE FALSE [6,] TRUE TRUE FALSE Jean Christof Kluß <ckl...@email.uni-kiel.de> wrote on 07/02/2012 12:04:40 PM: > Hi > > how would you save conditions like > > a = "day > 100"; b = "val < 50"; c = "year == 2012" > > in a list?
