Find a function name when the function is passed as an argument into other functions.

1	fNameFinder(x, fSearchSting = "fName")

`x`	an R function/method that has not been evaluated.
`fSearchSting='fName'`	function name search string

The function passed into x the x argument must have the object fSearchSting within its body. The fSearchSting must be the only code on a line within the function, but can be placed anywhere in the function body, e.g. fName='f1'. See examples.

Returns a character string e.g. "fName='f1'" that can be evaluated using eval(parse(text="fName='f1'") either outside of a function, see example or within the scope of a function.

##Example 1 - check this approach works with nested functions
f1=function(x) {
fName='f1'
x**2}

f2=function(f,y){
 res=f(x=y)
 funcName1=fNameFinder(f)
 return(list(res,funcName1))}

f3=function(f,y){
 res=f2(f,y)
 return(res)}

eval(parse(text=f3(f=f1,y=2)[[2]]))
