Hullo all,
[***recap of the question: passing bar=harry fails when bar is among
the ... args.]
callTimes <- function(tom, harry) {
timesDefineInside(foo=tom, bar=harry
}
timesDefineInside <- function(foo, ...) {
foo * bar
}
callTimes(3, 4)
# Error: object "bar" not found
[***end
Why don't you want to do this?
timesDefineInside <- function(foo, bar...) {
foo * bar
}
It seems like the obvious solution to your problem.

Try this for timesDefineInside:
timesDefineInside <- function(foo, ...) {
extra.args <- list(...)
bar <- extra.args$bar
foo * bar
}

Dear R-helpers,
I've got two functions; callTimes() calls times(), passing it an
optional argument (bar) by name (bar=harry). times() then believes it
has been passed a name, rather than a value — but I want the value,
not the name.
Worse, if I evaluate the name, it is evaluated in the environment
4 matches
