Hi, It's easy, just carry the arguments in '...' forward to where you expect to pass them along. mynumbs<-function(x,y,z=5,...){ numbs<-sort(sample(y,z, ...)) for (i in 1:(x-1)) numbs<-rbind(numbs,sort(sample(y,z, ...))) print(numbs) } Cheers, Ben On Nov 18, 2013, at 8:52 PM, "Lopez, Dan" <lopez...@llnl.gov> wrote: > Hi R Experts, > > How do you get the ... to work in a user-defined function such as the one I > have below? > For example if I want to pass replace=TRUE to the sample function. > > # This is a sample function that generates x rows of z numbers out of y. > Basically a lottery style data set. > > mynumbs<-function(x,y,z=5,...){ > #x should be a scalar indicating number of rows #y & z are passed to > sample function #in the future will add option to output as > data.frame instead of matrix > > numbs<-sort(sample(y,z)) > for (i in 1:(x-1)) > numbs<-rbind(numbs,sort(sample(y,z))) > print(numbs) > } > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
