How can I call matrix$col, inside a function? The matrix name is one of the variables of the function, while the column name I get by assuming that it should have a certain characters.
something like this function(matrix){ colname=as.name(grep("[A-T a-t]ting",colnames(matrix),value=TRUE)) output=2*(matrix$colname) return(output) } The name of the column is Testing. ______________________________________________ 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.
