R: Preprocess a vector of code lines

compile.SmartComments {R.utils} | R Documentation

## Preprocess a vector of code lines

### Description

Preprocess a vector of code lines.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'SmartComments'
    compile(this, lines, trim=TRUE, excludeComments=FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`lines` | A `character` `vector` of lines of code to be preprocessed.
`trim` | If `TRUE`, trailing whitespace characters are removed from every line of code, and contiguous empty lines are replaced with a single empty line.
`excludeComments` | If `TRUE`, comments in the input lines, that is, also smart comments, are excluded.
`...` | Not used.

### Details

When called, the compiler is reset.

Just before trimming is done, the validate() method is called. In the current class, this does nothing, but can be overridden in subclasses.

### Value

Returns a `character` `vector`.
