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?
