r - Getting a function name as a string

Question

Say I have a bunch of functions, each with something likeMyFunction.1, etc. I want to pass these functions into another function, which prints out a small report. Ideally I'd like to be able to label sections of a report by which function is being used to generate the results.

So are there any nice ways of getting the name of a predefined function as a string?

Answer 1

I was wanting the same thing, and remembered library(foo) didn't need quotes, this is what it does:

package <- as.character(substitute(package))
