I am trying to convert a string to a vector, and I'm stuck!
Suppose you have a string of numbers (string) that you want to convert to a
vector (vec). I am able to split the string turning it into a list by using
strsplit, but this makes a list, which I can't seem to access the way that
I'd like to (it becomes a character list of only one(?!?) element.)
string<-"1,1,2,3,5,8"
list<-strsplit(string,",")
list # Produces this ugly output with the [[1]] crap which doesn't let me
in!!!!!!!
vec<-c(1,1,2,3,5,8) # All I really want in the end.

It sounds to me like you don't understand lists. If you are going to use
R you really should understand them. They are a wonderfully useful
concept and make doing many otherwise complex tasks an absolute
breeze. Learn to love lists. It will be rewarding! :-)
