Along the lines of Gabor's method, presumably you could put a "spare"
argument in your function:
foo<- function(x,help=FALSE,...)
{
helpout<-c(comment,
comment,
end of comments)
if(something_is_wrong_with_inputs || help=TRUE)
{
print(helpout)
stop #or trycatch, or whatev
sorry I see what you mean- Gabor has the answer.

Try this (provided the comments are actually _in_ the function -- in
the example you gave they are not).

+ function(x){
+ # comments line 1

What are the comments line at the beginning of the function? if you
just type in the function name then you get the code, and it seems
that R removes the comment lines to make the code more readable. I
just looked at a function in a package that I created and know that
there are comments in there
Hi All,
Imagine that we have a function defined as follows:
foo <-
# comments line 1
# comments line 2
# etc..
function(x){
x <- 2
}
I can use args(foo) to get the arguments for foo. Is there any function to
get
the comment lines at the beginning of the function?
