How can I avoid evaluation? right = function(x, val) {print("Right");}; padding = function(x) {print("Padding");}; df = data.frame(x=1:5, y = sample(1:5, 5));
### OK '%=%' = function(x, val) { x = substitute(x); } right(padding(df)) %=% 1; # but ugly ### Does NOT work 'right<-' = function(x, val) { print("Already evaluated and also does not use 'val'"); x = substitute(x); # is evaluated before } right(padding(df)) = 1 Sincerely, Leonard ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
