Dear S-plus-falks,
I am struggeling with a basic question. Within a function I create a
character string by pasting several substrings with the intention to use this
string as the name of an existing S-plus object. My question is, how can I
convert this character string to a pointer to the actual object, or in
otherwords:
a <- c(1,2,3)
b <- "a"
? how should I call b so that it returns the object a rather than "a".
Please help,
