I want to do the same as here but with dplyr and one more column.
I want to selecting a column via a string variable, but on top I also want to select a second column normally.
I need this because I have a function which selects a couple of columns by a given parameters.
I have the following code as an example:
library(dplyr)
data(cars)
x <- "speed"
cars %>% select_(x, dist)
You can use quote()
for the dist
column
x <- "speed"
cars %>% select_(x, quote(dist)) %>% head
# speed dist
# 1 4 2
# 2 4 10
# 3 7 4
# 4 7 22
# 5 8 16
# 6 9 10
I know I'm a little late to this one, but I figured I would add it for others.
x <- "speed"
cars %>% select(one_of(x),dist) %>% head()
## speed dist
## 1 4 2
## 2 4 10
## 3 7 4
## 4 7 22
## 5 8 16
## 6 9 10
OR this would work too
cars %>% select(one_of(c(x,'dist')))
