Problem solved: sapply(data(package="car")$results[,3], function(x)class(get(x))) sorry for the silliness
Hi R Gurus: I'm using the data() function to get the list of data sets for a package. I would like to find the class for each data set; i.e.,data.frame, etc. Using str(), I can find the name of the data set. However, when I try the class function on the str output, I get "character", since the name in the str is a character. I've also tried this with just plain results column. Still no luck. Any help would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Edna Bell Hi R Gurus: I'm using the data() function to get the list of data sets for a package.
