Dear list members,
i have build a package which contains a collection of my frequently used
functions. To keep the code organized I have broken down some rather extensive
and long functions into individual steps and bundled these steps in
sub-functions that are called inside the main function.
To keep an overview over which sub-function belongs to which main function I
saved all the respective sub-functions to the same *.R file as their
main-function and gave them names beginning with . to somehow hide the
sub-functions. The result would be one *.R file in <package>/R for each
'main-function' containing something like:
mainfunction <- function() {
.subfunction1()
.subfunction2()
#...
}
.subfunction1() <- function() {
#do some stuff
}
.subfunction2() <- function() {
#do some more stuff
}
According to the way I understood the "Writing R Extensions" Manual I expected
this to work. When I load the package, however, I get the error message that
the sub-functions could not be found. Manually sourcing all files in the
<package>/R directory however yields the expected functionality.
In what way am I mistaken here? Any ideas?
Cheers
Jannis
