Let's say I have the following string: str <- "P = 0.0, T = 0.0, Q = 0.0" I'd like to find a function that generates the following object from 'str'. list(P = 0.0, T = 0.0, Q = 0.0) Thanks! -- http://mutualism.williams.edu
Is this what your want? as.vector(unlist(strsplit(str,",")),mode="list") Ross Darnell -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Manuel Morales Sent: Friday, 27 July 2007 10:39 AM To: r-help Subject: [R] Convert string to list?

Try this. It pastes "list(" onto the front and ")" onto the
end giving
"list( P = 0.0, T = 0.0, Q = 0.0 )"
and then parses and evaluates that as an R expression.
Str <- "P = 0.0, T = 0.0, Q = 0.0"
eval(parse(text = paste("list(", Str, ")")))
