[R] Remove " from a string

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

try this:

f1 <- function(x) x + 1
f2 <- function(x) x + 2
f3 <- function(x) x + 3

###########

FunNam <- "f1"
eval(call(FunNam, x = 1:5))

FunNam <- "f2"
eval(call(FunNam, x = 1:5))

FunNam <- "f3"
eval(call(FunNam, x = 1:5))


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
