Case-insensitive search of a list in R

by

I would suggest the grep() function and some of its additional arguments that make it a pleasure to use.

grep("stringofinterest",names(dataframeofinterest),ignore.case=TRUE,value=TRUE)

without the argument value=TRUE you will only get a vector of index positions where the match occurred.
