changing character to a vector name

Dear R People: I would like to generate a vector/variable name from within a loop to be passed to a table function. This is what I have so far:
assign("p1",paste("raw3.df$",rw2$V1[3],sep=""))
p1
>
[1] "raw3.df$CITIZEN"
Life is much easier: Consider to use raw3.df[[rw2$V1[3]]] instead. Uwe Ligges
Essentially, I want to use the raw3.df$CITIZEN along with another value to generate a table. However, I'm stuck here. I know this is incredibly stupid. Thanks in advance. Sincerely Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com
