Dear R Helpers,
I am trying to find a way to identify all the objects in my environment
that are all caps and then end with .f. I can do the all caps part pretty
easily, but I have tried a number of variations on the \ and can't get a
recognition of that operator. As a simple example
A.f<-"foo1"
AA.f<-"foo2"
aa.f<-"foo3"
A.a<-"foo4"
ls()
[1] "A.a" "A.f" "aa.f" "AA.f"
temp1<-ls(pattern="[A-Z]")
temp1
[1] "A.a" "A.f" "AA.f"
> temp2<-ls(pattern=\f)
Error: unexpected input in "temp2<-ls(pattern=\"
The end goal is to isolate A.f and AA.f and not the others.
In terms of just getting the 'ending with .f' portion, I have tried a
number of variations in the pattern=\f, but can't get R to recognize what
I want.
Your guidance would be much appreciated.
