----------------------------------
System info:
R version rw1020 on NT
ESS using emacs ver. 20.4
----------------------------------
To keep my scripts short and tidy, I want to call sub-functions and return
variables from these for subsequent use in the calling function.
e.g.
"test.smooth.opc.time.series" <-
function()
{
load.opc.ascii.files()
}
Within the sub-function "load.opc.ascii.files" I have tried two ways of
assigning variables for use by the calling function
"test.smooth.opc.time.series":
dir <<- c('h:/data/nov99_tan9913/opc/')
This works but clutters the workspace.
assign(dir, c('h:/data/nov99_tan9913/opc/')), envir =
test.smooth.opc.time.series)
Which returns an odd error telling me there is an invalid first argument
in assign. I don't see why, after reading the help on this function.
Any suggestions? Help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
