Dear list,
Let's say we have a variable (id), whose name is dynamically constructed.
This variable represents a vector or data frame with many elements. Now I
want to specifically assign a value to one of the elements. I couldn't get
it right.
test <- 'id' # "id" is dynamically constructed through paste()
id <- 1:4
# I can get the element by doing
get(test)[2]
# Now I want to assign a value to the second element of this dynamical
variable.
get(test)[2] <- 5 # doesn't work.
Thanks a lot.
