search for: charcterarray

..."externalptr" into another form... a function that looks like the following: *void* test(){ std::string str="test"; return str.c_str(); }* when I call this from R: *str <- test() typeof(str) % result is: "externalptr"* how could I reinterpret this to a charcterarray, to a numeric, to list, or ... Thanks for any suggestions ;) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/reinterpreting-externalptr-in-R-tp4653908.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
