Thank you everyone for your reply. Like I said in my original post, this is just a demonstrative example of my 'big' self written script.
My 'big' function take several inputs, of which the first 1 is the dataset and returns a LIST variable 'res<<-list()' to the workspace with many information. The names of my actual datasets are NOT in any pattern, like 'dat1', 'dat2', 'dat3'. That's why i wonder if I can modify the line 'res<<-' in anyway to be 'res.dat<<-' where 'dat' in the first input. So I can CALL via 'res.dat' (or res.newdata, res.olddata, res.tmpdata,res.hisdata) in the workspace any time I want to have a look. ----- ################################################### PhD candidate in Statistics School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Kent ################################################### -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/function-input-as-variable-name-deparse-quote-paste-tp4462841p4464294.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
