Actually, quick correction here. That should be: NewListObject <- dget("YourTextFile") dget() will enable simple assignment of the textual input, whereas source() will just evaluate it and assignment with source() creates a list object, unless you use: NewListObject <- source("YourTextFile")$value Marc ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
