Hi, every R user,

    I wanna output  names of objects, I googled codes from website,
but it
was not what I wanted.

the codes are as following:

f <- function (...)
{
   unevaluatedArgs <- substitute(...())
   evaluatedArgs <- list(...)
   stopifnot(length(unevaluatedArgs) == length(evaluatedArgs))
   tags <- vapply(unevaluatedArgs, FUN=function(x) deparse(x)[1],
                  FUN.VALUE=character(1))
   if (!is.null(tmp <- names(evaluatedArgs))) {
     # if argument is tagged, tag=expr, use the tag
     i <- !is.na(tmp) & tmp != ""
     tags[i] <- tmp[i]
   }
   tags
}

f(a1=log(1:4), m1=1:4, c1=pi)

results:
f(a1=log(1:4), m1=1:4, c1=pi)

   a1   m1   c1
"a1" "m1" "c1"


what I wanted is outputting "log(1:4) " "1:4", "pi" , while not "a1" "m1"
"c1" .

Coulde someone tell me how to get the results I wanted?

Hi Yuanzhen,
This may be of some help:

f<-function (...) {
   unevaluatedArgs <- unlist(substitute(...()))
   tags<-NA
   for(arg in 1:length(unevaluatedArgs))
    tags[arg]<-deparse(unevaluatedArgs[[arg]])
   tags
}

f(a1=log(1:4), m1=1:4, c1=pi)
[1] "log(1:4)" "1:4"      "pi"

Or simply

f <- function(...) sapply(subsitute(...()), deparse)

which even keeps the names.
