In the help for get(), the following example is given:
a <- 1:4
assign("a[1]", 2)
a[1] == 2 ? ? ? ? ?#FALSE
get("a[1]") == 2 ? #TRUE
However, executing that last line for me gives
Error in get("a[1]") : object 'a[1]' not found
That's actually in the help for assign(). But anyway, help files are checked before distribution, so something is likely odd about your session. Is this in an empty session? OS, version, etc? sessionInfo() at the very least. What does ls() look like? Did you get any other warnings or errors? Sarah
