Certainly not release critical ... especially as the conversion doesn't claim to work in all cases and is there only for convenience: person("Roeland", "Lastname") does the right thing, so one can write a correct CITATION file. unlist(strsplit(x, "[[:space:]]?(,|[[:space:]]and)[[:space:]]+")) should do the trick, I'll put it into the patched branch after release. .f ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
