Re: [R] passing field name parameter to function

You code is not reproducible. Take a look at this much simpler example: > a x y xx xxx 1 1 4 8 12 2 2 5 9 13 3 3 6 10 14 4 4 7 11 15 5 1 4 8 12 6 2 5 9 13 7 3 6 10 14 8 4 7 11 15 > funct <- function(df, colnm) print(df[, colnm]) > funct(a, "xx") [1] 8 9 10 11 8 9 10 11 #-
