dear Enrico,
it works. Thanks a lot. I spent over an hour looking for
this function in the web, but was bootless. Do you have any way to get
functions where you are given what it has to do? The most common case is that
you are given a list of functions, but they number to over 100000. Any idea to
find them without resorting to help from another R expert?
yours sincerely
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Perhaps ?get is what you're looking for:
A <- 42
get("A")
## [1] 42
