Hi, All:


       How can I get the names of all the arguments in dots(...)?


       I'm able to get the name of the first argument but not the second:



deparseDots <- function(...){
   deparse(substitute(...))
}
a <- 1
b <- 2
deparseDots(a, b)
[1] "a"


       I'd like to get c('a', 'b').


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
