R List Store as string

Question

I have the following list containing strings:

"list(name = c(\"Marca\", \"Condición del ítem\", \"Modelo\"), 
     value_id = c(NA, \"2230284\", NA))"

How can I tell R to understand that string as a list?

Thanks

Answer 1

An option is to evaluate

eval(parse(text= str1))
#$name
#[1] "Marca"                "Condición del ítem" "Modelo"              

#$value_id
#[1] NA        "2230284" NA       

data

str1 <- "list(name = c(\"Marca\", \"Condición del ítem\", \"Modelo\"), value_id = c(NA, \"2230284\", NA))"
