I want to build a function (say "buildFn") to *return* a function of the
form
foo(x,y,a1, ... an, b1, ..., bn)
where the arguments ai and bi are given in the form of a list created
in R. E.g. I'd like to be able to say
argnms <- c(paste0("a",1:3),paste0("b",1:3"))
foo <- buildFn(argnms)
with the resulting "foo" having arguments x, y, a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3.
I thought I might be able to do this using "formals<-" but I cannot get
this to work. i could provide more detail of what I've tried, but it's
probably not worth it.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
