When I evaluate
Integrate[f[x]*If[x==y,1,0],{x,-Infinity,Infinity}]
I don't get
f[y].
----------------------------------
As an alternative solution to the 1st part of your problem you may try "Integrate[f[x]*DiracDelta[x-y],{x,-Infinity,Infinity}]" in Mathematica 4, but in Mathematica 3.0 you have to load "<<Calculus`DiracDelta`" first.
