Possible to get a definition of a function from a package to use without invoking the package?
You should be able to download the source package from CRAN and copy the code for the 'instring()' function into your own source file. -roger

Hi, I often use the mod() and instring() functions that are available in the clim.pact package. This package has a lot of dependencies, including installation of netCDF, and I haven't yet been able to get library(clim.pact) to work on a Mac OS 10.4.6. A previous request for help with the Mac problem yielded no results, so now I wonder if I could just extract the definitions for the couple of functions that I need and save them in my own file of R functions. I'm pretty sure that mod() and instring() are very basic and don't have any exotic dependencies. I did find an alternative mod() in the new matlab package, and that's fine. Now I just need another way to get the instring() functionality. Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at_ pnl.gov
