I know using eval is not optimal and maybe bad, but how to avoid using eval
in the following example
func1 <- function(dat, eval.this) {
eval(parse(text = paste0("with(dat, ", eval.this, ")")))
}
dat <- data.frame(x = 1:2, y = 2:3)
func1(dat, "x*2+y")
func1(dat, "sin(x)*cos(y)")
Here eval.this is a string that contains whatever the user wants to
evaluate. I wonder whether there is a neat way to avoid using eval in this
case? So far I have not figured out a way to do this.
