do you mean something like the following:
f <- function (x) {
deparse(substitute(x))
}
x <- 5
y <- 6
z <- 7
f(x)
f(y)
f(z)
I hope it helps.
Best,

Dear List,
I am writing a function in R with the facility to store models for later
use in scoring.
It would be very useful if I could include in the name of the file
stored the name of
the model object being stored, this name being chosen by the user in the
function
call. A simple function to store the name of an object as a character
string would fit the
bill, but I have not found one. name() doesn't appear to do what I want,
maybe I'm using
it wrongly. Any suggestions please ? I'm running 2.8.0 on windows XP,
Thanks,
Philip
