Rdo_locate(object, f = function(x) TRUE, pos_only = TRUE, lists = FALSE, fpos = NULL, nested = TRUE)
object
and position, it is called and the value is returned along with the
position, see Details.lists
is
TRUE, see `Details'.
With the default setting of lists = FALSE
, the function
f
is applied to each leave (a character string) of the Rd
object. If lists = TRUE
the function f
is applied also
to each branch (a list). In this case, argument nested
controls
what happens when f
returns TRUE. If nested
is TRUE,
each element of the list is also inspected recursively, otherwise this
is not done and, effectively, the list is considered a leaf. If
f
does not return TRUE, the value of nested
has no
effect and the elements of the list are inspected.
The position of each object for which f
returns TRUE is
recorded as a numeric vector.
fpos
and pos_only
provide two ways to do something with
the selected elements. Argument fpos
is more powerful than
pos_only
but the latter should be sufficient and simpler to use
in most cases.
If fpos
is a function, it is applied to each selected element
with two arguments, object
and the position, and the result
returned along with the position. In this case argument
pos_only
is ignored. If fpos
is NULL the action depends
on pos_only
.
If pos_only = TRUE
, Rdo_locate
returns a list of such
vectors (not a matrix since the positions of the leaves are, in
general, at different depths).
If pos_only
is a function, it is applied to each selected
element and the result returned along with the position.
