> I've been messing around with coding functions in R and it just

> Running my analysis by hand on command line is fine and works but because
> of the repetitive nature of the job I would like to code a
> function for it.

> My problem:
>
> I would like to read in data from a file in my current working dir.

> so my code would look like:
>
> myanalysis <- function(sample, samplenr){
> sample.samplenr <- read.geodata("sample.samplenr", arg, arg etc.)
> sample.samplenr.results <- someanalysis(sample.samplenr)
> }
>
> problem is that charater values aren't interpretated as they should. Any
> tips and tricks? This should be fairly simple but I just can't find any
> reference to it. Most input values in functions in R are numeric or are
> strings to be interpretated with bolean statements but aren't handled as
> input variable perse.

> Suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated,
