Dear community,
I am writing a wrapper for '[' operator, which is a generic method
declared as function(x, i, j, ..., drop). It turns out that I need to
parse the '...' argument and this is where I am stuck. Generally what I
need is the following. Say the call is obj[1, 1, 1:10, 3] - here '1:10,
3' is passed into '...'. What I need to evaluate that '...' contains now
2 arguments, first is a vector of 10 elements and second is a single
value. Even nicer situation is in call obj[1, 1, , 3] - where ' , 3' is
passed in '...' with one missing argument, which for an array would mean
the full range. Any ideas? (Just to mention - if there were only one
argument in '...', say '1:10', then length(...) would return 10 and one
could access elements by ...[[i]], but all this fails if there are two
arguments or more).
Thanks
Oleg
