The following avoids the fragile substring(paste(expression)) business:
> eval(e[[1]][[2]][[3]], list(y=5))
[1] 99.9
The [[1]] pulls the call to list out of the expression object.
The [[2]] pulls the first (and only) argument out of the call to list.
I assume that argument is a call to '==' with 2 arguments ('R' and
'100 * (1 -2 * y/10000)') so the [[3]] pulls out the second argument.
This solution may be fragile as well, but it doesn't depend on you
knowing the number of characters in the variable names.
