nwsIFetch {nws} | R Documentation |
Create a function that acts as a destructive iterator over the values of the specified variable.
## S4 method for signature 'netWorkSpace': nwsIFetch(.Object, xName)
.Object |
a netWorkSpace class object |
xName |
name of the variable to be fetched |
The iterator function returned by the nwsIFetch method takes no arguments, and works just like the nwsFetch method, specified with the same arguments that were passed to nwsIFetch method. Note that the nwsIFind and nwsIFindTry methods are much more useful, since they provide the only way to iterate over values of a variable non-destructively. nwsIFetch and nwsIFetchTry are provided for completeness.
## Not run: ws <- netWorkSpace('nws example') nwsStore(ws, 'x', 10) it <- nwsIFetch(ws, 'x') it() # returns the value 10 it() # blocks until another process stores a value in the variable ## End(Not run)
