You can do

> eval(parse(text = "d<-0"))
> d[1]
[1] 0

But, as always:

fortunes::fortune("answer is parse")

If the answer is parse() you should usually rethink the question. -- Thomas Lumley R-help (February 2005)

It doesn't matter, I'm mostly here to learn but I get many of these scenarios daily. It's like people are competing to be right. Not saying this was the case!

@NelsonGon: Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm probably guilty of that too, from time to time.
