Re: [R] How do I query "..." in a function call?

[Søren Højsgaard]

You can do something like this:

test <- function(x,...){
     print(x)
     args = list(...)
     if('y' %in% names(args))print(args$y)
     if('z' %in% names(args))print(args$z) 
}

Regards
Søren

Emne: [R] How do I query "..." in a function call?

This is probably a very noobish question, but if I want to create a
function that allows an undetermined number of, say, numeric vectors to be
fed to it, I would use:

myfunction = function(...)
{
# Do something

}

Right?  If so, how do I a) count the number of vectors "fed" to the
function, and b) how do I treat those vectors as variables, e.g. for the
call:

myfunction(c(1:10),c(2:11),c(3:13))

Thanks!
