Have you looked at "writing your own functions" in "An Introduction to R", downloadable from "www.r-project.org" -> Documentation: Manuals? If you want more than one object, you can return a list with all the objects you want as components; see "lists and data frames" in the same manual.

hope this helps. spencer graves

Hi there,
Just wondering if there's a way to get a value you've assigned within a function, out of the function?
For example,


function () {
testing <-read.table("...",header=TRUE)
}


I want to be able to use 'testing' outside of the function, so be able to call ls() and testing be there...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Kathryn
