Why do you think is R_ParseVector not sufficient for this? That is
what most of use use to achieve exactly what you describe...
For something that even mimics the continuation behavior of the R
console have a look at parseString function in Rserve.
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.
Also, study the source code in the littler project. As it is a simple
command line alternative to the R shell script and executable, it may
bring you up to speed on simple embedding and parsing; another example
at least.
