Hi all,
I would like to turn some long strings like MyString$Myfield$MySubfield into
variables but it looks like that the get does not like lists
Those are expressions not names, so you need to parse them.
> eval(parse(text = "test$a"))
[1] 2
so for example:
test<-list(a=2)
test
$a
[1] 2
get("test")
$a
[1] 2
get("test$a")
Fehler in get("test$a") : Objekt 'test$a' nicht gefunden
lapply(test,function(x) return (x$a))
Fehler in x$a : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
What should I do to read those lists I have as strings?
I would like to thank you in advance for your reply
regards
A
