[julia-users] Re: How to evaluate variable inside Formula type? (Linear Mixed Models)

[Nils Gudat]

Do you mean something like this?

f(x) = x^2
y = 5
f(eval(parse("y")))  # = 25

this converts the string to a symbol, which is then evaluated (giving the 5 
previously assigned to it). 
Of course the standard disclaimer applies; you should probably put all 
those "X1045" variables in an Array and loop over the appropriate 
vectors/higher-dimensional slices of this array rather than looping over 
variable names.
