Thank you to all.
And thank you for the extra tips. I had a kind of feeling my
"names(data.frame(var))"
would seem awkward!

Within a function deparse(substitute(x)) will give the name of x, as a character
variable. Search the archives for
deparse substitute
to find many examples.

David,
I think you are looking for
deparse(substitute(var))
See
?deparse
Notice in
?data.frame
this bit:
...: these arguments are of either the form 'value' or 'tag =
value'. Component names are created based on the tag (if
present) or T
Dear R list,
After a huge delay, I come back to this question. Using names of
variables inside a function is a problem I run into quite often.
Maybe this little example should help to get my point:
Suppose I want to make a function "llabel" to get the labels of the
variables from a data frame.
If n
Not sure what you are going to get. Can you shorten your functions and
specify some example data? Then please tell us what your expected result is.
Best,
Uwe Ligges

Dear all,
I 'd like to keep the names of variables when calling them in a function.
An example might help to understand my problem :
The following function puts in a new data frame counts and percent of
a data.frame called as "tablo"
the step " nom.chiffr[1] <- names(vari) " is useless as names f
