Dear list,
I'd like to access the elements of a list within another list with the
help of a variable.
dict <- list( "24" = c(1,2,3,6,12,24,48,72,96,120,144,168,720),
"168" = c(1,12,24,48,72,96,120,144,168,336,504,672),
"8760" = c(1,24,168,730,4380,8760)
)
dict$"24" works fine, but
a <- "24"
dict$a
I can't remember if this is a FAQ but it is certainly discussed on the
page you would ge with
?"$"
dict[[a]]
returns NULL
Unfortunately dict[a] does not work for me, because I see no
possibility
to access the inner elements of list "24" in that case
i.e. dict[a][1] returns the whole list and not the first element.
What is the correct syntax to access those elements with the help of a
variable?
Thanks in advance
Antje
