Hi, I don't know much about R's deparsing "magic", I simply use the deparse(substitute(arg)) trick to get the names of the variables passed as arguments to the function in order to set labels, etc.
The problem is that this doesn't work with nested functions. For example, > foo <- function(x) print(deparse(substitute(x))) > a=1 > foo(a) [1] "a" This is OK. However, > bar <- function(x) foo(x) > bar(a) [1] "x" this is not what I want. I wanted bar(a) to print "a" not "x". Is it possible to do this? Thanks in advance. -- Ernest ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
