I have the df:
df_1 <- data.frame(
x = replicate(
n = 10, expr = runif(n = 30, min = 20, max = 100)
)
)
This works:
df_1 |>
(`$`)("x.1")
But:
df_1 |>
(`$`)("x.1", "x.2")
or
df_1 |>
(`$`)("x.1", "x.2", "x.3)
Doesn't work. I tried use %in%, [, [[ and c(), but nothing.
Does this solve your problem?
library(tidyverse)
df_1 <- data.frame(
x = replicate(
n = 10, expr = runif(n = 30, min = 20, max = 100)
)
)

(`$`)("x.1")

The $ operator cannot handle two column names at once, but the "[" operator can. Try:
df_1 |> (`[`)(c('x.1', 'x.2'))
It does need to be in the form of a character vector just as it would if you were trying:
df_1[ c("x.1", "x.2") ]
If you tried with:
df_1 |> (`[`)( "x.1", "x.2" )
The "x.1" would be interpreted as a rowname and the "x.2" as a column name. That's just the way "[" works.
bselect = `[` # make [ work with pipeOp

bselect(, 'mpg') # add `drop=FALSE` if you need a 1 column data.frame
