Hi,
I have a list of data.tables and I am trying to extract a subset from
each of them. I can achieve what I want with this:
> L <- list(data.table(BOD), data.table(BOD))
> lapply(L, function(x) x[Time==3L])
[[1]]
Time demand
1: 3 19
[[2]]
Time demand
1: 3 19
However, I'd rather not type have to create an anonymous function. I
tried the below, but `[.data.frame` is being dispatched.
> lapply(L, "[", Time==3L)
Error in `[.data.frame`(x, i) : object 'Time' not found
Even if I am explicit, `[.data.table` does not get dispatched:
> lapply(L, data.table:::`[.data.table`, Time==3L)
Error in `[.data.frame`(x, i) : object 'Time' not found
I'm guessing this is due to where evaluation takes place. Is there an
alternate syntax I should use?
Thanks,
Garrett
