Hi, As an example, I want to create below kind of custom Function which either be mclapply pr lapply Lapply_me = function(X = X, FUN = FUN, ..., Apply_MC = FALSE) { if (Apply_MC) { return(mclapply(X, FUN, ...)) } else { if (any(names(list(...)) == 'mc.cores')) { list(...) = list(...)[!names(list(...)) %in% 'mc.cores'] } return(lapply(X, FUN, ...)) } } However when Apply_MC = FALSE it generates below error saying : '...' used in an incorrect context Appreciate if you can help me with the correct approach.

Hi Christofer, You cannot assign to list(...). You can do the following myList <- list(...)[!names(list(...)) %in% 'mc.cores'] HTH, Eric On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 6:38 PM, Christofer Bogaso < bogaso.christofer at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > As an example, I want to create below kind of custom Function which > either be mclapply pr lapply > > Lapply_me = function(X = X, FUN = FUN, ..., Apply_MC = FALSE) { > if (Apply_MC) { > return(mclapply(X, FUN, ...)) > } else { > if (any(names(list(...)) == 'mc.cores')) { > list(...) = list(...)[!names(list(...)) %in% 'mc.cores'] > } > return(lapply(X, FUN, ...)) > } > } > > However when Apply_MC = FALSE it generates below error saying : > > '...' used in an incorrect context > > > Appreciate if you can help me with the correct approach.

@Eric - with this approach I am getting below error : Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : unused argument (list()) On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 10:18 PM, Eric Berger <ericjberger at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi Christofer, > You cannot assign to list(...).
