This (almost) works. I did this instead:
p = read.delim("params.txt", as.is=T)
lst = as.list(p[ ,1])
names(lst) = rownames(p)
I know that in some cases column 1 of the data file becomes column 1 of the
frame, and in other cases it becomes the rownames. I think that is the
difference.
To respond to David Brahms' mail, yes, a hash is what I'm after. I guess my
perl orientation is evident. And to help all those who come after and may be
googling for this, I add the following keywords.
like a hash in perl
similar to a perl hash
perl hash in R
That ought to do it. Thanks everyone for your fast and insightful help.
