[R] choosing a particular object

[Adrian DUSA]

Hello all,

I'd like to create a function which would do some analysis on a particular 
object, which should be specified in advance. Something like:

 ls()
[1] aa bb cc

Object - bb
var.name - q2
testfunction - function(obj.name, var.name) {
  temp - give.me.the.object.called(Object)
  table(temp[, var.name])
}

This should perfom the same thing as:
table(bb$q2)

Is this possible?
TIA,
Adrian

Try

 test.fn - function(obj.name, var.name=q2){

  stopifnot( is.character(obj.name)  is.character(var.name) )
  x - subset( get(obj), select=var.name )
  table(x)
 }
