Return a Variable's Value

Usage

get(x, pos=-1, envir=pos.to.env(pos), mode="any", inherits=TRUE)

Arguments

x a variable name (given as a quoted string).
pos position in search list, can be numerical or a quoted string.
envir the environment to be used.
mode the type of object sought.
inherits should the enclosing frames of the environment be inspected?

Value

This function searches the specified environment for a bound variable whose name is given by the string x. If the variable's value is not of the correct mode, it is ignored.

If inherits is FALSE, only the first frame of the specified environment is inspected. If inherits is TRUE, the search is continued up through the parent frames until a bound value of the right mode is found.

Using a NULL environment is equivalent to using the current environment.
