R: Create a symbol or list of symbols

sym {rlang} | R Documentation

## Create a symbol or list of symbols

### Description

These functions take strings as input and turn them into symbols.

### Usage

    sym(x)

    syms(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A string or list of strings.

### Value

A symbol for `sym()` and a list of symbols for `syms()`.

### Examples

    # The empty string returns the missing argument:
    sym("")

    # This way sym() and as_string() are inverse of each other:
    as_string(missing_arg())
    sym(as_string(missing_arg()))
