Description

If I pass a record along the lines of {a = 1, b = {2, 3}} into an RExpression, it will choke since it can't form a data.frame out of this. A fallback would be to create list(a = 1, b = c(2, 3)). From what I understand about Records, the whole Record = data.frame thing isn't entirely appropriate in the first place.

History

#1 Updated by ben leinfelder about 10 years ago

We can now handle variable length record tokens.

For the RecordToken: {a=1, b={2,3}}

We end up with this in the RExpression actor:

`myInput` <- local({

+ `a` <- c(1)
+ `b` <- c(2, 3)
+ list(`a`,`b`)
+ })

myInput

1
[1] 1

2
[1] 2 3
