Re: [R] field names as function parameters

Hi, I think this is a case where you should use the ?"[[" extraction operator rather than "$", d = data.frame(a=1:3) mytarget = "a" d[[mytarget]] HTH, baptiste 2009/10/11 tdm : > > Hi, > > I am passing a data frame and field name to a function. I've figured out how > I can create the formula

[R] field names as function parameters

Hi, I am passing a data frame and field name to a function. I've figured out how I can create the formula based on the passed in field name, but I'm struggling to create a vector based in that field. for example if I hard code with the actual field name Y = df$Target, everything works fine. bu
