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 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?
