Getting DataFrame Name from Text String

Hi,

I have the following simple function

Testfunc = function(x)
{
Test = subset(x, var1 <= 1000)
}

Suppose I have a dataframe ?dat1? then the command Testfunc(dat1) gives a
correct result.

The problem is that the name of dataframe to be used in the function can be
found in a vector (Dfname). The value of the vector can change in eg.

Dfname = ??dat1??
Or
Dfname = ? dat2 ?
Or
...

How can I pass this string into the function so that the correct database is
used. Thx for helping me out.

Bert
