[R] glob2rx function not working

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Your expression is trying to sum a character vector
containing the names of the variables that begin with ABC.
Try this and try executing each portion of it to understand
it better:

ABC1 <- ABC2 <- 1
do.call("sum", lapply(apropos(glob2rx("ABC*")), get)) # 2
