[R] how to convert string to object?

[jim holtman]

Have you tried this:

> temp = "~aparch("
> temp1 = paste(temp,1, sep = "")
> temp2 = paste(temp1,1, sep = ",")
> temp3 = paste(temp2, ")",sep = "")
> temp3
[1] "~aparch(1,1)"
> as.formula(temp3)
~aparch(1, 1)
> x <- as.formula(temp3)
> str(x)
Class 'formula' length 2 ~aparch(1, 1)
  ..- attr(*, ".Environment")=<environment: R_GlobalEnv>
