[R] eval() parse() and problem with square brackets

[chao gai]

Jakub,

I was trying to simplify the situation in order to know where the fault 
happens.
Appearently, from Excel, you go to R, which does some query in an MS 
application ? The square brackets now make me think that is Excel again, but 
I do not know.
Had I known that I would not have touched your question with a pole, I never 
used that stuff.
