Is it possible to use "paste" to write out an expression and evaluate it? Suppose I want to add two vectors X1 and X2, defined as follows:
X1 <- 1:6 X2 <- 6:1 If I write the following it looks like what I want but is a character: noquote(paste(paste("X", 1, sep = ""), paste("X", 2, sep = ""), sep = "+")) Is there a way to tell R that I want to evaluate the text, not just print it out as a character?
