dear Enrico,
it works. Thanks a lot. I spent over an hour looking for
this function in the web, but was bootless. Do you have any way to get functions
where you are given what it has to do? The most common case is that you are
given a list of functions, but they number to over 100000. Any idea to find them
without resorting to help from another R expert?
yours sincerely
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

you convert this character object to the object A. i.e I want a function f such
that class(f("A")) = class(A) (of course, class("A") =
"character") . f should just coerce the character to the object
represented by it.
Perhaps ?get is what you're looking for:
A <- 42
get("A")
## [1] 42
