Hi All:
I am trying to write code to create a string to be executed as a command. The
string will be of the form:
"param <- param[,rev(seq_len(dataYLen)),,drop = FALSE]"
Now just creating that string is simple enough. Where the problem arises is
the array param could be 2, 3, or 4 dimensions, and the dimension where
"rev(seq_len(dataYLen))" occurs can vary. At present I have the following
solution:
paramLen <- 3
latLoc <- 2
myComma1 <- paste(rep(',', times = (latLoc-1)), 'rev(seq_len(dataYLen))',
sep="", collapse="")
myComma2 <- paste(rep(',', times = (paramLen-latLoc+1)),sep="",
collapse="")
paramCommand <- paste0('param <- param[', myComma1, myComma2, 'drop =
FALSE]')
(paramLen can be 2,3,4 and latLoc can be 1,2,3,4) but this strikes me as
pretty kludgy. I am hoping there is a more elegant way of doing this.
Thanks,
-Roy
