Don't really understand what you have in mind, but maybe this will do it.
f <- function(x=3) x^2
Now, if I want to "get" the function f, given that I only know its
name "f", I can do this:
getf <- get('f')
getf(4)
Or even:
get('f')(5)
[1] 25
Also,
attributes(getf)
$source
[1] "function(x=3) x^2"

I have the above simple function. I can use the variable f to refer to
the function and get the function source.
Suppose that I have 'f' as a string (say I get it from ls()), could
somebody let me know how to get the function from the name 'f'?
