Hi

I want to assign the function & and | to a variable, because I want to
specify as a function argument if inside the function & or | should be
used.

   link <- &

does not work, and

   link <- "&"

results in the string "&" being assigned to link.

Use backticks: see ?Quotes.

link <- `&`

You can also make use of .Primitive.

So how can I assign the logical function to the variable link, so that I
can do

TRUE link FALSE

Are you trying to ask how to make 'link' into a binary operator? You cannot: user-defined binary operators are of the form %link% .



Thanks,

Rainer
