wildcards and removing variables

	All,

	Is there are a wildcard in R for varible names as in unix?  For example,

	rm(results*)

	to remove all variable or function names that begin w/ "results"?  

	cheers,
	Dave
	ps - please respond directly to afshar at miami.edu 

See ?ls, which has a 'pattern' argument, enabling the use of Regex to
define the objects to be listed and subsequently removed using rm().

You can then use something like:

  rm(list = ls(pattern = "\\bresults."))

HTH,
