hi,
get.vars.name.prefix<-function(prefix){
result<-list()
len<-nchar(prefix)
var.names<-ls(name=1,pattern=prefix) #name=1 probably wrong option
print(var.names)
for(i in 1:length(var.names)){
name<-var.names[i]
field<-substr(name,len+1,nchar(name))
result[[field]]<-get(name)
}
result
}
for example
x.1<-1
x.2<-2
get.vars.name.prefix("x.") should return 1,2
this does not work if i call if from within another function:
g<-function(){
x.1<-1
x.2<-2
get.vars.name.prefix("x.") # should return 1,2, nothing else
}
i would like the environment specified within ls(...) to be that of the body
of the function that calls get.vars.name.prefix. apparently name=1 is
probably not the right option.
thanks.
