I really wanted to find out how to search using port. Jesse Hamner showed how to remove the regular expression part from the clutches of port, so that the output from port list can be dealt with using standard Unix facilities. In retrospect, this is the obvious approach. port list R* can't do what we want, can it? The shell tries to expand R* to match a file in the current directory, and otherwise exits with "No match". If one shields R* from the shell with quote marks, for example, then one gets a list of all ports starting with R or r, and there are too many of them for comfort.
