Thank you for the attempt. On your advice I am working with lists to avoid the numbers (which are geographical coordinates) becoming strings. The call you suggest does not take care of that. Now I am trying to extract the coordinates from the list efficiently. Of course I could make a loop, e.g.
punkte[,1]<-orte[[1]][[2[1]]] being replaced by for(n in 1:lang){ punkte[n,1]<-orte[[n]][[2[1]]] punkte[n,2]<-orte[[n]][[3[1]]] } but I wonder if there was no more efficient way. Faithfully, Mag.
