Hi,
I would like to obtain the names of all objects that are provided as further
arguments ("...") in a function call. I have created a minimal example that
illustrates my wish (but isn't useful otherwise):
f1 <- function( ... ) return( deparse( substitute( ... ) ) )
x1 <- 1
x2 <- 2
x3 <- 3
f1( x1, x2, x3 )
[1] "x1"
However, I would like to obtain the names of *all* further arguments,
i.e. "x1", "x2", and "x3".
Is this possible in R? Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks,
Arne
