Create a list of functions from a vector of characters

Question

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this question has been answered previously - I have looked pretty extensively. I have a dataset containing a row of with concatenated informa

Answer 1

Just to add onto joran's answer, this is what finally worked:

test.data <- matrix(data=rep(1,25),5,5)
test.data <- data.frame(test.data)

test.func <- c("x","x+1","x+2","x+3","x+4")
func.list <- list()

for(i in 1:length(test.func)){
  func.list[[i]] <- function(x){}
  body(func.list[[i]]) <- parse(text=test.func[i])
}

processed <- mapply(do.call,func.list,lapply(test.data,list))

Thanks again, joran.
