[R] Extracting the name of a function (inverse of match.fun("myFun"))

[Peter Langfelder]

Hi all,

is there a way to extract the name of a function, i.e. do the reverse
of match.fun applied to a character string? I would like to print out
the name of a function supplied to another function as an argument.

For example:

myFunc = function(x) { x+1 }

applyFunc = function(fnc, x)
{
  fnc = match.fun(fnc)
  fnc(x)
}

Is there a way to obtain "myFunc" from the argument fnc in applyFnc
the following call is issued?

applyFnc(myFunc, 1)



Thanks,

Peter
