You were trying to eval an expression that you constructed in Java.  I 
was suggesting that before you eval it, you print it.

Right, that's what I was suggesting you do. Now you've fixed the syntax 
error, that looks okay.

If I'm reading these messages in the right order, your latest error is

   Error in `[.data.frame`(boxMVariable, , -5) : undefined columns selected

The expression there is a funny way of printing boxMVariable[,-5].  So 
now you need to figure out why it thinks you've selected undefined 
columns.  This is a little perplexing, because you're asking for all 
columns except column 5, and that works whether or not you have a column 
5.

So I'd guess there's something weird about boxMVariable.  You should ask 
R to print it, and to print str(boxMVariable), to make sure it's a 
regular dataframe containing 4 numeric columns and one factor or 
character column.
