Not paying close attention to detail, I entered the equivalent of pstr<-c("b1=200", "b2=50", "b3=0.3")
when what I wanted was pnum<-c(b1=200, b2=50, b3=0.3) There was a list thread in 2010 that shows how to deal with un-named vectors, but the same lapply solution doesn't seem to work here i.e., pnum<-lapply(pstr, as.numeric) or similar vapply version. The names and = signs seem to mess things up. This is clearly not critical, but it would be nice to know an appropriate transformation.
