That's a nice quicky and dirty solution. Works in simple cases, but fails the "works in all cases". But a 90-percent solution is probably enough for the task at hand, especially for software limited to individual deployment. However, note that it's the basic idea behind the Doxygen framework, which does a more robust job of parsing and documenting. best, -tony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.analytics.washington.edu/ Biomedical and Health Informatics University of Washington Biostatistics, SCHARP/HVTN Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center UW (Tu/Th/F): 206-616-7630 FAX=206-543-3461 | Voicemail is unreliable FHCRC (M/W): 206-667-7025 FAX=206-667-4812 | use Email CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and any attachme...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
