I would like to have tools such as grep available with some of the
built in maxima functions in interactive sessions.
for instance, suppose I have a lot user defined functions, and some of
them have the characters "iter" in them.
If I type
functions
then I get all of the functions back and I have to visually search for
those which have "iter" in them.
It would be nice if I could pipe the output of the
functions
command to a filter such as "grep": e.g., something like
functions | grep iter
to print out a list of only those user defined functions which have
the expression "iter" in them.
Is such a tool already available? If not, is there a simple routine
which would do this?
Thanks,
-sen
