noquote {base} | R Documentation |
Print character strings without quotes.
noquote(obj, right = FALSE) ## S3 method for class 'noquote' print(x, quote = FALSE, right = FALSE, ...) ## S3 method for class 'noquote' c(..., recursive = FALSE)

any R object, typically a vector of

optional |
x |
an object of class |

for compatibility with the generic |
noquote
returns its argument as an object of class
"noquote"
. There is a method for c()
and subscript
method ("[.noquote"
) which ensures that the class is not lost
by subsetting. The print method (print.noquote
) prints
character strings without quotes ("\dots"
).
If right
is specified in a call print(x, right=*)
, it
takes precedence over a possible right
setting of x
,
e.g., created by x <- noquote(*, right=TRUE)
.
These functions exist both as utilities and as an example of using (S3)
class
and object orientation.
