Hi, Jing Jiang,

maybe

as.formula( paste( "V12 ~ V", i, sep = ""))

inside the call to glm() does what you need.

Is there a function to get a string without a pair of quotes around it?

I have several expressions like:
glm(V12 ~ V3, family=binomial, data=df1)
glm(V12 ~ V4, family=binomial, data=df1)
...
glm(V12 ~ V8, family=binomial, data=df1)

As you can see, the only differences among them are V3 ... V8.
Because sometimes several of these expressions are performed many times,
I want to use a variable "i" to change the V3 ... V8. I did this with:

i <- 3:8
glm(V12 ~ paste("V", i, sep=""), family=binomial, data=df1)

However, it seems the paste always returns a variable name with a pair of quotes, which were wrong in such condition. I only find a function "sQuote" to add quotes to a string, and it looks I am looking for an opposite function of it.
Any advice will be appreciated.
