Dear R helpers,
I wonder how to use a character vector as an input argument to setkey
(data.table package).
The following works:
library(data.table)
test.dt <- data.table(expand.grid(a=1:30,b=LETTERS),c=seq(30*26))
setkey(test.dt,a,b)
I like a similar function, but can accept c('a','b') as an input argument as
below
setkey.wanted(test.dt,c('a','b'))
Your help will be highly appreciated.
