Usage

split_source(x, merge_comments = FALSE, line_number = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A character vector of R source code.
merge_comments	Whether to merge consecutive lines of comments as a single expression to be combined with the next non-comment expression (if any).
line_number	Whether to store the line numbers of each expression in the returned value.

Value

A list of character vectors, and each vector contains a complete R expression, with an attribute lines indicating the starting and ending line numbers of the expression if the argument line_number = TRUE.

Examples
