maybe you're looking for something like,
test <- 1:3
testfct <- function(x){
x[1] <- 100
x
}
############
test
testfct(1)
testfct(test)
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris

Subject: [R] write data from function into external table
Dear list,
My apologies if a solution / explanation to this already exists on the
list,
but it is difficult to assign it to a certain keyword.
test<-c(1:3)
testfct <- function(x) {test[1]<-100}
test
[1] 1 2 3
testfct(1)
[1] 1 2 3
Basically, I would like to write data into an external table that the
function
does not know. Why is this not working / what alternatives exist?
Thanks, Sebastian
