R-helpers: I'm guessing this is an easy one for some of you, but I'm a bit stumped. Given some arbitrary function (doesn't matter what it does): myfunction <- function(a,b,c) { return(a+b+c) } I want to test this function for the presence of the ellipses ("...") and, if they are missing, create a new function that has them: myfunction <- function(a,b,c,...) { return(a+b+c) } So, 1) how do I test for whether a function has an ellipses argument and, 2) how do I "append" the ellipses to the argument list if they do exist? Note that the test/modification should be done without invoking the function, e.g. I'm not asking how to test for this WITHIN the function, I'm asking how to test "myfunction" directly as an R object. Thanks! --j
