Arguments

a pattern character string as required by the grep function. The default, ".*", gives all supported financial centers

## myFinCenter - the global setting currently used
getRmetricsOptions("myFinCenter")

## Other Financial Centers
listFinCenter("Asia/")
listFinCenter("^A")    # all beginning with "A"
listFinCenter("^[^A]") # all *not* beginning with "A"
listFinCenter(".*/L")  # cities with L*

stopifnot(identical(sort(listFinCenter()), ## 'A' and 'not A' == everything:
     sort(union(listFinCenter("^A"),
         listFinCenter("^[^A]")))))
