[R] how to convert string to object?

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi,

Wu Gong and Jim Holtman gave you options that should work, but I
suspect there is a way to circumvent the entire issue if we knew more
about your context and goals.  Of course pasting together calls and
then evaluating them is always an option, but there may be a simpler
way.  This is all summarized nicely:
