I have a variable meanedf which may sometimes not be defined due to a
complex set of circumstances.
I would like to be able to find out whether or not it exists, and then
branch appropriately in my code.
I had hoped to be able to use is.null() or exists() but neither of these
returns TRUE or FALSE which is the behaviour I would like, so that I can
write some appropriate branching code.
is.null(meanedf)
Error: object 'meanedf' not found
No suitable frames for recover()
exists(meanedf)
Error in exists(meanedf) : object 'meanedf' not found
I would like some code which returns TRUE when meanedf exists and FALSE
when it doesn't.
Thanks, and regards,
Margaret Donald
