Dear R helpers, I wonder how to use a character vector as an input argument to setkey (data.table package). The following works:
library(data.table) test.dt <- data.table(expand.grid(a=1:30,b=LETTERS),c=seq(30*26)) setkey(test.dt,a,b) I like a similar function, but can accept c('a','b') as an input argument as below setkey.wanted(test.dt,c('a','b')) Your help will be highly appreciated. -Sean [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
