Thank you for the reply. I am new to R, and struggling to learn most of it's aspects and embedding issues in particular. When I first posted my questions and comments on the IRC channel and here I asked how I would go about about achieving this functionality. Last night I stumbled onto an example of what R_ParseVector actually does I was finially able to get it working. Part of my post was intended to say I have found a solution, and part of it to show how my original thought would be done. There is only on reason to add the API is code clarity and convenience. Actually a few additional sentences in the embedded documentation better explaining what R_ParseVector does would havekept me from creating this thread and a couple of days of pain. As for parseString, this is the first I have read of it, so will now check into it. Thanks and best regards, EBo -- ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
