Hi, I think you can use match.call() to retrieve the number of arguments passed to a function (see below), but I don't think nargout makes sense in R like it does in Matlab. foo <- function(...){ print(match.call()) nargin <- length(as.list(match.call())) -1 print(nargin) } foo(a=1, b=2) foo() foo(1:3, a=2, c=3) HTH, baptiste 2009/11/26 Jason Rupert <jasonkrup...@yahoo.com>: > I am porting some MATLAB functions over to R and hopefully into a package, so > I am curious if nargin and nargout work with R functions. > > Here is kind of an example of where I need to head in order to port > "control-1.0.11" from Octave over to R.
