I have a 'named expression' like expr <- expression(rep(1,d)) and would like to replace the argument d with say 5 without actually evaluating the expression. So I try substitute(expr, list(d=5)) in which case R simply returns expr which when I 'evaluate' it gives eval(expr) Error in rep.default(1, d) : invalid number of copies in rep()
I've looked at ?substitute and ?expression (and other places) for ideas, but - well I guess there are some details which I haven't quite understood. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
