| get {base} | R Documentation |
Search for an R object with a given name and return it if found.
get(x, pos=-1, envir=as.environment(pos), mode="any", inherits=TRUE)
x |
a variable name (given as a quoted character string). |
pos |
where to look for the object (see the details section); if omitted, the function will search, as if the name of the object appeared in unquoted in an expression. |
envir |
an alternative way to specify an environment to look in; see the details section. |
mode |
the mode of object sought. |
inherits |
should the enclosing frames of the environment be inspected? |
The pos argument can specify the environment in which to look
for the object in any of several ways:
as an integer (the position in the search list); as
the character string name of an element in the search list; or as an
environment (including using sys.frame to
access the currently active function calls).
The envir argument is an alternative way to specify an
environment, but is primarily there for back compatibility.
The mode includes collections such as "numeric" and
"function": any member of the collection will suffice.
This function searches the specified environment for a bound variable
whose name is given by the character string x. If the
variable's value is not of the correct mode, it is ignored.
If inherits is FALSE, only the first frame of the
specified environment is inspected. If inherits is
TRUE, the search is continued up through the parent frames
until a bound value of the right mode is found.
Using a NULL environment is equivalent to using the current
environment.
