eval(substitute(getAnywhere(x), list(x=name)))
It's a standard (if advanced) code snippet from the ideas of 'computing on
the language'.
getAnywhere is written the way it is because it is intended for
interactive use, especially for frustrated users who can't find an object
that appears in e
Try this:
do.call(getAnywhere, list(name))

Hi List,
I am trying to look up an object using getAnywhere, where the object I
am looking for is given by the _value_ of the variable I am looking
for. Since getAnywhere calls substitue on its argument it is looking
for an object with the name of the argument not its value. Is there a
way to work

Hello,
How can I see a function called "+.dlm"?
> methods("+")
[1] +.Date +.dlm* +.POSIXt
Non-visible functions are asterisked
> getAnywhere("+.dlm")
Error in grep(pattern, x, ignore.case, extended, value, fixed, useBytes) :
invalid regular expression '+\.dlm'
