Pass subset argument through a function to subset

Question

I would like to have a function which calls subset, and passes on a subset argument:

df <- data.frame(abc=c(\"A\",\"A\",\"B\",\"         


        

Answer 1

The A5C1D2H2I1M1N2O1R2T1 answer works, but you can skip the whole deparse/parse cycle by simply using:

mysubset <- function(df, p) {
  ps <- substitute(p)
  subset(df, eval(ps))
}
