Rebind an existing name.
This function is similar to <<- with two exceptions:
rebind(name, value, env = parent.frame())
name |
name of existing binding to re-assign |
value |
new value |
env |
environment to start search in. |
if no existing binding is found, it throws an error
it does not recurse past the global environment into the attached packages
a <- 1
rebind("a", 2)
a
# Throws error if no existing binding
## Not run: rebind("b", 2)
local({
rebind("a", 3)
})
a
# Can't find get because doesn't look past globalenv
## Not run: rebind("get", 1)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
