Hi, Suppose a write a function a_fn<-function(arg1) { return(table(arg1)); } I have a column called AGE. Now I call the function c = a_fn(AGE); When a_fn is called, AGE is received in arg1. My question is, how do I access the actual name of the argument arg1? i.e, inside the function, i need to know that the actual name of arg1 is "AGE" in this case.
Is this what you mean ? fun <- function(x) { as.character(substitute(x)) } > fun(age) [1] "age" ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
