Can you be a little more concrete?
If you want the form of the expression given (rather than its value),
deparse(substitute()) will work:
fnc1 <- function(x){ deparse(substitute(x))}
fnc1(3) # 3
fnc1(x) # "x"
fnc1(x + 4) # "x+4"
If you are passing them through the ... argument, you can coerce that
to a list and use the names() attribute.
If you want to reconstruct the exact call (e.g., for a modelling
function), match.call() will do it.
Hope this helps,
Michael
