Doesn't work with :: etc:

Error in get("graphics::box") : object 'graphics::box' not found

I think parse()+eval() is pretty much unavoidable. After that, it's a
choice between deparse() and print()+capture.output().

Hi,

I guess I was not clear enough: the name of the function is stored as 
string. Solutions which use the object directly do not help unfortunately.


Thanks Sigbert

Hi,

I want to have a function, e.g. graphics::box, as text.
Currently I'am using

deparse(eval(parse(text='graphics::box')))

It is important that '::' and ':::' can be used in the name.

Is there a simpler way?

Thanks

Sigbert

Currently I'am using

It is important that '::' and ':::' can be used in the name.
