Hi All, I am interested in printing column names without quotes and am struggling to do it properly. The tough part is that I am interested in using these column names for a function within a function (e.g., lm() within a wrapper function). Therefore, cat() doesnt seem appropriate and print() is not what I need. Ideas?
# sample data mod1 <- rnorm(20, 10, 2) mod2 <- rnorm(20, 5, 1) dat <- data.frame(mod1, mod2) # collapsing the colnames to 'mod1+mod2' temp <- paste(names(dat), collapse="+") temp # this gives quotes print(temp, quote = FALSE) # no quotes but includes [1] # need the output like this (no quotes & no [1]): mod1+mod2 Thanks, AC [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
