Hello,
one possibility to get all standard packages and all symbols defined
is:
packagelist = Flatten[
(FindList[#1, "BeginPackage[", 1] /.
s_String :> StringSplit[s, "\""][[2]] & ) /@
Select[FileNames["*.m", ToFileName[{$TopDirectory,
"AddOns", "StandardPackages"}], Infinity],
FindList[#1, "BeginPackage"] =!= {} & ]];
TableForm[packagelist]
AbsoluteTiming[
nb=SetSelectedNotebook@NotebookCreate[];
Do[NotebookWrite[nb,Cell[packagelist[[i]],
"Section"]]; Needs[packagelist[[i]]];
symbols[i] = Names[StringJoin[packagelist[[i]],
"*"]]; Do[NotebookWrite[nb,Cell[
"? "<>symbols[i][[j]],
"Input"]],
{j, Length[symbols[i]]}], {i,Length[packagelist]}]]
Evaluating the generated notebook gives usage messages for all symbols.
With
Select[Split[Array[symbols,Length@packagelist]//Flatten//Sort],Length[#]>1&]
we get the 15 symbols which are defined in more than one package ...
This can be easily adapted to your needs.
Unfortunately a Mathematica package is no expression, if it would be
package handling might be easier.
Of course, truly object oriented languages like Java do have an
advantage
when it comes to software engineering issues ...
