    Hello,
    I am wondering how to get the quotation marks into a variable expression. I
    can't escape it with the backslash \ ...
    Example:
    I can access my data frame via
    TABLE$"2011-01-02"$columnD
    Now I want to do this automatically.. (with a for loop)..

Use the form

TABLE[["2011-01-02"]][["columnD"]]

and you can easily replace:

    a<- TABLE
    b<- " \"2011-01-02\" "

use simply

b <- "2011-01-02"


    c<- "columnD"

Now forget the nonsense below and just do:
TABLE[[b]][[c]]

    acessmytable<- paste(a,b,c, sep="$")
    parse(text="accessmytable")
    eval(accessmytable)
    It will return
    [1] "TABLE$\"2011-01-02\"$close"
    but I need
    TABLE$"2011-01-02"$close
    I highly appreciate your help!
