Hello All,

I'm trying to pass the argument col.names to write.csv using '...'.
But I got the following warnings. Maybe it is very simple. But I'm not
sure what I am wrong. Could you please help point to me what the
problem is?


#####################
fun=function(x, ...) {
 fr=parent.frame()
 tmp=get(x, envir=fr)
 write.csv(
     tmp
     , file=paste(x, '.csv', sep='')
     , ...
     )
}

f=data.frame(x=1:10,y=letters[1:10])

fun('f', col.names=F)
####################

fun('f', col.names=F)
Warning message:
In write.csv(tmp, file = paste(x, ".csv", sep = ""), ...) :
 attempt to set 'col.names' ignored

write.csv sets col.names according to hard-coded rules which you are (unsuccessfully attempting to override.
