hi.
at the R prompt, i often hit, e.g., "data.table::<TAB>", to try to find
a routine in a give package.
however, some packages have a *lot* of functions (i'm looking at *you*,
ggplot2...), so if i know the routine name starts with, e.g., "set", i
can filter the returned list of routines by typing
"data.table::set<TAB>" to get a list of completions.
but, what if i know the name *contains*, but doesn't start with, "set"?
is there an obvious way to find this? something like the unix-y
: ls /bin | grep -i "set"
Bert gave you an answer that depends on ls(). Whether there's something
like "set<TAB>" that can return "asset" probably depends on your front
end, and may be customizable using the facilities described in ?rcompgen.
