Hello Dimitris
thanks for this. It works! I guess I was fixated on the dollar sign.
I must confess that I don't really understand any of the error
messages below. Can anyone help me interpret them?

do you mean:
f <- factor(c("pigs", "pigs", "slugs"))
jj <- list(pigs = 1:10, slugs = 1:3)
jj[levels(f)[1]]
jj[[levels(f)[1]]]
Best,

Hi
I have a factor 'f' and a named list 'jj'.
I want names(jj) to match up with levels(f).
How do I use levels(f) to access elements of jj?

My attempts to produce jj$pigs all give errors:
> jj$levels(f)[1]
Error: attempt to apply non-function
> do.call("$",jj,levels(f)[1])
Error in if (quote) { : argument is not interpretable as logical

Error in jj$levels(f)[1] : invalid subscript type 'language'
