Dear R-users, I would like to construct a list of arguments for a function in a format function (list(item1=c("A","B"), item2=c("B","C")), item3=...): The individual vectors in the list are permutations of colnames of a dataframe. The trouble is that I am not able to handle escaping of parentheses correctly.
I was trying the following: library(gregmisc) combinations.2<-combinations(12,2,mycolnames) combinations.2.call<-apply(combinations.2,1,function(x){do.call(paste,c( as.list(x),sep="\",\""))}) combinations.2.call<-paste("c(\"",combinations.2.call,"\")",sep="") but now calling call("list",combinations.2.list) doesnt work. Could anyone give an advice on this? Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jiøí Voller Laboratory of Growth Regulators Palacký University & Institute of Experimental Botany AS CR ©lechtitelù 11, 783 71 Olomouc Czech Republic landline: +420-585-634-855 mobile: +420-737-520-506 fax: +420-585-634-870 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
