I want to write a function that get 2 strings y and z and does the following
R command.
temp<-qq1[qq1$z==y,]
for example if it get y="AMI" and z="PrimaryConditionGroup"
It should do the following
temp<-qq1[qq1$PrimaryConditionGroup=="AMI",]
I could do it by the following function that is ugly and I wonder if there
is an easier way to do it espacielly when temp is not the final result that
I want (so I practically do not have temp<<-temp because I do not need the
function to remember temp but only to remember something else that is
calculated based on temp).
ugly<-function(y,z)
{
text1<-paste("temp<-qq1[qq1$",z,sep="")
text1<-paste(text1,"==y",sep="")
text1<-paste(text1,",]",sep="")
eval(parse(text=text1))
temp<<-temp
}
