install.packages('str2str')grab extracts the contents of objects in an environment based on their
object names as a character vector. The object contents are stored to a list
where the names are the object names.`abind<-` adds array slices to arrays as a side effect. It used the function
abind in the abind package. The purpose of the function is to replace
the need to use ary2 <- abind(ary1, mat1); ary3 <- rbind(ary2, mat2); ary4 <- rbind(ary3, mat3),
etc. It allows you to specify the dimension you wish to bind along as well as the dimname you
wish to bind after. Unlike `cbind<-`, `rbind<-`, and `append<-`,
it does not have overwriting functionality (I could not figure out how to code that);
therefore, if value has some dimnames that are the same as those in a,
it will NOT overwrite them and simply bind them to a, resulting in duplicate
dimnames.
