Find Location and Character Vector of an Object with partial name in R Language – apropos() and find() Function
In this article, we are going to find the location and character vector of an object with a partial name in R Programming Language.
R – apropos() Function
appros() function in R Language will give the character vector of name that contains the partial name.
Syntax: apropos(“x”, ignore.case, simple.word)
Parameters:
- x: partial-name of object
- ignore.case: Case sensitive or not
- simple.word: if TRUE the what is searched as a whole word
Example:
R
# R program to illustrate # appros function # Apply apropos function in R apropos ( "max" , ignore.case = FALSE , simple.word = FALSE ) |
Output:
“cummax” “max” “max.col” “pmax” “promax” “varimax” “which.max”
Here in the above code, the appros() function will return all the strings which have “max” in them.
R – find() Function
find() Function in R returns the location where the object with specific name can be found.
Syntax: find(“x”, ignore.case, simple.word)
Parameters:
- x: partial-name of object
- ignore.case: Case sensitive or not
- simple.word: if TRUE the what is searched as a whole word
Example:
R
# R program to illustrate # find function # Apply find function in R find ( "varimax" , ignore.case = FALSE , simple.word = FALSE ) |
Output:
# "package:stats
Here in the above code, we get the location of where “varimax” is stored. So find() function is used to find what we have specified to it.
