Hi,

I'm trying to evaluate a character vector within pnorm. I have a vector with values and names

x = c(2,3)
names(x) = c("mean", "sd")

so that i tried the following

temp = paste(names(x), x, sep = "=")

#gives
#> temp
#[1] "mean=2" "sd=3"

#Problem is that both values 2 and 3 are taken as values for the mean argument in pnorm
pnorm(0, eval(parse(text = temp)) )

#but not as
pnorm(0, mean = 2, sd = 3 )


#How can i get

pnorm(0, eval(parse(text = temp)) )

#to do

pnorm(0, mean = 2, sd = 3 )



Thank you for your time

Thomas Roth
