After an unsuccessful search thru several books plus online documentation, I was unable to find a simple way to do this, so I wrote my own function (see below) to do it. I'm relatively new to R however, so I'm guessing that there must be an easier way to do it.
I want to list all functions and only the functions (not other objects also) in the global environment. I'm working with several old R workspaces that contain a very large number of objects -- functions, data structures, etc. and I would to be able to easily find out which objects are functions. The function below (listfunc()) works fine. I'm just asking this for future reference. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ listfunc <- function() { # lists names of all function objects in the global environment obj <- objects(.GlobalEnv) funclist <- character(length = 0) for (i in 1:length(obj)) { if (mode(get(obj[i])) == "function") funclist <- c(funclist,obj[i]) } return(funclist) } +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
