Hello,

Can't you remove the backquotes from names(df)? If so, you can do it with


x <- c("`region",    "farmsize`",  "farmincome", "maincrop", "claimvalue")
newx <- gsub("\\`", "", x)

Hope this helps,

Hi,

My data has column names which has ` character. For example ,
*> names(dataframe)
[1] "`region"    "farmsize`"  "farmincome" "maincrop"   "claimvalue"*

If i use these objects in my function, the following error is thrown.

*lmm<-lm(``region`~farmincome)
Error: attempt to use zero-length variable name*

Is there a way, say an escape sequence or something similar in which we can
give these objects with the colnames to R functions?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Raji
