how to get value when a variable name is passed as a string

r

Solution

`paste("a","b","c")` gives `"a b c"` not `"abc"`

Anyway, I think you are looking for `get()`:

> abc <- 5
> get("abc")
[1] 5

Problem

i write this code in R ``` paste("a","b","c") ``` which returns the value `"abc"` Variable `abc` has a value of 5(say) how do i get `"abc"` to give me the value 5 is there any function like `as.value(paste("a","b","c"))` which will give me the answer 5? I am making my doubt sound simple and this is exactly what i want. So please help me. Thanks in advance
