Thanks for pointing me in right direction, both solutions are wonderful.
Yes I made a mistake for 100k.

I have one doubt though, how does one locate packages that's
available for specific task (like this one). Does one look at package
index (http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/web/packages/index.html).
or is there any other trick?

I tried "help.search("string")" and also looked at help.start()
but I think it just displays whats available on my machine.


        RSiteSearch("string", restrict="functions")

will produce a load of hists

         RSiteSearch("string replace",restrict='functions')

will give you a manageable list.

HTH,
