I am looking for a way to extract the name of a variable that has been passed into a function
for example foo <-function(x){ write.csv(x, file = paste(NAME(x), "csv", sep =".")) } is there a function "NAME" that would let the calls foo(bar) write the file bar.csv and foo(stuff) write the file stuff.csv Robert [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
