Hi all,
I had mentioned this as a PS in a recent prior post on r-help on the use
of assign(), but presumably it got buried in the noise.
There is a typo in the R-patched and R-devel versions of assign.Rd in
the first example comments.
It is presently:
#-- Create objects 'r1', 'r2', ... 'r6' --
Note the line where paste() is used in the example is:
nam <- paste("r",i, sep=".") # Note 'sep'
Hence, the comment should be:
#-- Create objects 'r.1', 'r.2', ... 'r.6' --
I have attached a text file containing the patch against today's r-devel
tarball version of assign.Rd.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
