Hello,
I am trying to find a function name in a string that expresses a 
functional form :
 > s = "blabla...S(var)...blabla"
I would like to detect the pattern "S(*)" in s.
I am no guru at regular expressions. Just tried :
 > grep("S(.*)",c("S(a)","CSP"))
[1] 1 2
 >
I expected the pattern to be retrieved only in the first string, so 
obviously this is not correct. Any idea ?
Thank you very much in advance,
