Hi All,
How can I create a variable with a name identical to the character value of an argument that I passed to the function ? The following lines doesn’t work. Do I have to text an expression with a combination of paste0(), parse() first, and eventually evaluate it with eval()?
f <- function(Argument.to.carry.the.value.that.I.want.to.use.as.name.of.variable.to.be.created){
as.name(Argument.to.carry.the.value.that.I.want.to.use.as.name.of.variable.to.be.created)=my.gene.list
}
f(the.name)
Bests,
Allen Chiu
PS: What I really want to do is to create a global variable during the function run, like:
de.limma=function(path_name){
……………
.GlobalEnv$”as indicated by the path_name argument”=de_gene_list
}
