avoiding eval parse with indexing
? the code returns Error:
?do.call("[", c(list(z),1,1,ix))
#Error in 1:24[1, 1, 1:3, 1:4] : incorrect number of dimensions
May be something is missing.

Martin:
Well, assuming I understand, one approach would be to first get the
dim attribute of the array and then create the appropriate call using
that:
z <- array(1:24,dim=2:4)
d <- dim(z)
ix <-lapply(d[-c(1,1)],seq_len)
? do.call("[", c(list(z),1,1,ix))
[1]? 1? 7 13 19 Is that what you want? -- Bert

? Hello,
I would like to get an advice on how the notorious eval(parse()) construct could possibly
be avoided in the following example. I have an array x, which can have different number of dimensions,
but I am only interested in extracting, say, the first element of the first dimension. Currently I achieve this
in this way:
eval(parse(text=paste0("x[1", paste(rep(", ", length(dim(x)) - 1), collapse=""), "]")))
Is it possible to avoid the eval parse here? How?
Best regards,
Martin
