as.symbols and syms are functions potentially useful
in connection with foreach and xapply.
as.symbols produces a list of symbols from a character vector,
while syms returns a list of symbols from symbols given as arguments,
but it can be used to construct patterns of symbols.
Usage
as.symbols(x)
syms(...,paste=FALSE,sep="")
Value
A list of language symbols (results of as.symbol - not graphical
symbols!).
Arguments
x
a character vector
...
character strings or (unquoted) variable names
paste
logical value; should the character strings
pasted into one string?
