Thank you for the reply.
I am new to R, and struggling to learn most of it's aspects and embedding
issues in particular. When I first posted my questions and comments on the
IRC channel and here I asked how I would go about about achieving this
functionality. Last night I stumbled onto an example of what R_ParseVector
actually does I was finially able to get it working. Part of my post was
intended to say I have found a solution, and part of it to show how my
original thought would be done. There is only on reason to add the API is
code clarity and convenience. Actually a few additional sentences in the
embedded documentation better explaining what R_ParseVector does would
havekept me from creating this thread and a couple of days of pain. As for
parseString, this is the first I have read of it, so will now check into it.
Thanks and best regards,
