I have a function where I pass a data frame and some variable names to
calculate statistics on. However, I am at a loss as to how to write it
correctly so that both data.frame and data.table work with it. If I have:
DF = data.frame(x=1:10,y=2:11,z=3:12)
DT = data.table(DF)
var.names = c("x","y")
I can do the following things to subset:
DT[,var.names,with=FALSE]
DF[,var.names]
but of course DT[,var.names] won't give me back what I want, and
DF[,var.names,with=FALSE] returns an error because with doesn't exist there.
So how do I do this?
Thanks,
-Chris
