Subject: [Rd] Access variable in attached but removed object
Message-ID: <m28uqbw7ch.fsf@krugs.de>


How can I access an object in an attached but deleted environment, when
the object also exists in the .GolbalEnv?

I hope the example below makes the question clear:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tmp <- attach(what=NULL, name="org:variables")
tmp$test = 13
rm(tmp)
test
# > 13
test <- 24
test
# > 24
ls(all=TRUE)
# > character(0)
# 
# how can I access the variable test in the object org:variables in the
# search path?
#
rm(test)
test
# > 13
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rainer
