Dear Julio: Try the following. n <- 3 m <- 4 x <- 1:n y <- 1:m a <- expand.grid(x=x, y=y) b <- subset(a, x + y == 3) b x y 2 2 1 4 1 2 In order to create a list of the required pairs, try the following out <- vector("list", nrow(b)) for (i in seq.int(along=out)) { out[[i]] <- c(b[i, 1], b[i, 2]) } Hope this helps.
