Subject: how to add names to an object created using assign
If I assign a variable in a function, as in:
test=function(){
assign("a",c(1,2,3),env=.GlobalEnv)
}
How can I do the equivalent of:
names(a)=c("one","two","three")
within the function?
Merely adding the call to names does not work within the function as
it only affects a local variable:
test=function(){
assign("a",c(1,2,3),env=.GlobalEnv)
names(a)=c("one","two","three")
}
