Hi list, I encountered a situation that a data frame is defined by two packages. Both of them are loaded by library(). My questions are 1. How could I tell the data frame is from which package?
find("theName")
will tell you where it found a variable called theName.
2. If I want to reference the data frame from package A insted of B, how can I do it?
A::theName or B::theName will find whichever one you want. Duncan Murdoch
Thanks! hshen
