[R] execute r-code stored in a string variable

[Samuel Le]

Yes, you can use:
eval(parse(text=c))

On the other hand I would not recommend to use c as a variable name as it is the name of a very important function in the R language to aggregate data.

Subject: [R] execute r-code stored in a string variable

Dear all

I have a simple R question. How do I execute R-code stored in a variable?

E.g if I have a variable which contains some R-code:
c = "reg <- lm(sales$sales~sales$price)"

Is it possible to execute c
E.g like Exec(c)

I hope someone can help.

Thank you
Kim Lillesøe
