I want to use the name that I assign to an object in the function that
produces the output, somewhat like below:
stupid.function <- function(input){
[body]
cat("Summarized output is ", output$summary, "Full output is given
by typing", assigned.name, "\n")
}
assigned.name <- stupid.function(whatever)
or another example is a function that sinks the results to a text file
and names it assigned.name.txt .
I checked the help for function, <-, assign but could not find it, is it
possible ?
