Abstract: findregex lists variable names that match a regular expression based on the variables in the current frame. The variable names are listed back to the user. In addition, the matching list of variables is left behind in s(varlist). The default is to use all variable names in the current dataset. If varlist is provided, then the matching takes place on this subset.
