[R] Passing parameters in a user defined function to another function using ...
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)
}

Thanks Ben.
I feel really dumb. I did enter '...' in my sample function in another version
of this function. But I just realized I had only done it for the second
occurrence of the sample function and not the first.

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
