Have you considered

eval(parse(text="expand.grid(c(1,0),c(1,0))"))

There are other ways to get what you want, but this should work.

hope this helps. spencer graves

How can one transform a character string into an argument of a function
(which is not or I don't want it to be a character string)?

Example:


expand.grid(c(1,0),c(1,0)) ## OK

Var1 Var2 1 1 1 2 0 1 3 1 0 4 0 0



paste(rep("c(0,1)",2),collapse=',') ## to be used below

[1] "c(0,1),c(0,1)"


## string is the input I want, but it needs to be coerced to the correct

format



expand.grid(paste(rep("c(0,1)",2),collapse=',')) ## does not get me there

Var1 1 c(0,1),c(0,1)
