Hi folks, I thought I recalled a request for turning a character string into an object name as in:
x$as.name("y")<-1:4 OR x<-data.frame(as.name("y")=1:4) However, as.name and a few other uninformed attempts didn't even come close. A search of "character to name" produced no helpful functions. This isn't a very urgent request, but if anyone knows some trick to perform this transformation, I would like to hear about it. Thanks.
