Dear Jan, This will return a list with all objects from within the function.
test <- function(){ a <- 10 b <- 3 * a + 1 x <- -1 output <- paste(objects(), objects(), sep = "=") output <- paste(output, collapse = ",") output <- paste("list(", output, ")") return(eval(parse(text = output))) } test() Best regards, ir.
