I think you are looking for subscripting with a
matrix:

x[cbind(1,1,2)]

See, for instance, the subscripting section of chapter 1
of S Poetry.

Hi

Is it possible to subset an n-dimensional array by a vector of n dimensions? E.g. assume I have

x <- array(1:24, dim=2:4)
x[1,1,2]
[1] 7
dims <- c(1,1,2)

I would like a function that I can supply x and dims as parameters to, and have it return 7. Also, I would like to do something like:

x[1,1,]
[1]  1  7 13 19
dims2<- c(1,1,NA)

And have a function of x and dims2 that gives me back [1]  1  7 13 19

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks

Richard
