Dear R users, Please disregard my previous post "converting result of substitute to 'ordidnary' expression". The problem I have has nothing to do with substitute. Consider: > dat <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10) > subsetexp <- expression(5<x) > ## this does work > subset(dat, eval(subsetexp)) x y 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 9 9 9 10 10 10 > ##

Consider: > dat <- data.frame(x=1:10,
