    <p>I love working with R functions, so my workspace accumulates a lot of functions.</p> <p>However, the "objects()" command seems to return strings that name my objects instead of the objects themselves. So when I have a function named "barchart00", it shows up with the objects() command, and if I test its type, it is detectable as a function, as the following code shows:</p> <blockquote> <p>is.function(barchart00) [1] TRUE</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>&gt; objects() [1] "barchart00" &gt; OL&lt;-objects() &gt; OL [1] "barchart00" &gt; is.function(OL[1]) [1] FALSE </code></pre> <p>This wouldn't be a problem if I had just one or two or three functions. But in practice I have dozens of functions, AND dozens of objects that are not functions, and I want to get a list of functions that's just as convenient as the list of objects returned by objects().</p> <p>My first thought was that if objects() returned a list of actual objects, I could just go through that list and test for function status. But in fact, objects() seems to return a list of strings that are the names of my objects, not the objects themselves.</p> <p>Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p> <p>...Hong Ooi answered the question but I can't mark it as answered for another eight hours.</p> <p>lsf.str() is the syntax I was looking for.</p> <p>All credit should go to Hong Ooi. </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/474349/hong-ooi">https://stackoverflow.com/users/474349/hong-ooi</a></p> <p>Thanks, Hong Ooi.</p>

    2. COlsf.str() with parentheses seems to do exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Similar syntax with a package name inside the () seems to limit scope to the specified package. Thank you very much!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
