Subject: [Rd] "with" doesn't work with names with blanks
Message-ID: <a70b7e3c-8975-dd83-705b-488945bb1af0@prodsyse.com>

Hello, All:


	  Column names in a data.frame are not supposed to have trailing 
blanks.  However, a CRAN package created one, which threw an error with 
"with".  Consider the following example:


 > (tst <- data.frame(1))
   X1
1  1
 > names(tst) <- 'x '
 > tst$x
[1] 1
 > with(txt, x)
Error in with(txt, x) : object 'txt' not found


	  I think it's interesting that "tst$x" works, but "with(txt, x)".


	  Comments?


	  It's not a major problem, though it took me a while to diagnose.  (I 
reported it to the maintainer of the package that returned a data.frame 
with names with trailing blanks.)


	  Thanks, for all your work in maintaining and upgrading R -- and in 
responding to emails from this list.


	  Spencer Graves
