Hello everyone,
I have tried several ways of doing this and searched the documentation and
help lists and I have been unable to find an answer or even whether it is
possible to do it. I am pasting together a formula and I need to insert
double quotes around the strings. Here's an example:
location <- c("AL", "AK", "MA", "PA")
v=2
test <- cbind(
" <- cbind(df$DATE[df$LOCATION %in% c(",
location[v],
")], df$WTD.AVG.PRICE[df$LOCATION %in% c(",
location[v],
")])")
test <- paste(test, collapse="")
test
Solution:
[1] " <- cbind(df$DATE[df$LOCATION %in% c(AK)], df$WTD.AVG.PRICE[df$LOCATION
%in% c(AK)])"
This does not produce an error message but it is obviously wrong because I
need double quotes around AK, i.e.,
" <- cbind(df$DATE[df$LOCATION %in% c("AK")], df$WTD.AVG.PRICE[df$LOCATION
%in% c("AK")])"
And obviously, I gave R no indication whatsoever to use double quotes.
If I use
test <- paste(test, collapse=""")
it does not work, which makes sense because the second double quote closes
the first and the third is left an orphan.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Rita
