Dear members,
I think the following question is rudimentary, but I couldn't find an answer in the Internet.
Suppose there is an object A, and ls() lists it as "A". How do you convert this character object to the object A. i.e I want a function f such that class(f("A")) = class(A) (of course, class("A") = "character") . f should just coerce the character to the object represented by it.
Perhaps ?get is what you're looking for:
A <- 42
get("A")
## [1] 42
Thank you, Yours sincerely, AKSHAY M KULKARNI
