Dear list,
can someone explain to me why deparse(substitute(x)) does not seem to work
when x is of a user-defined S3 class?
In my actual problem, my print method is part of a package, and the method
is registered in the NAMESPACE, if that should make a difference.
> print.testclass <- function(x,...){
xname <- deparse(substitute(x))
cat("Your object name is",xname,"\n")
}
testlist <- list()
testlist[[1]] <- 1:10
class(testlist) <- "testclass"
# This does not work as expected:
> testlist
Your object name is structure(list(1:10), class = "testclass")
# But this does :
> testlist2 <- unclass(testlist)
> print.testclass(testlist2)
Your object name is testlist2
thanks,
Remko Duursma
