In this case, you can simply do: R> names(ans) [1] "coefficients" "residuals" "effects" "rank" [5] "fitted.values" "assign" "qr" "df.residual" [9] "xlevels" "call" "terms" "model" > saw my advisor type "ans$" and they were displayed, but when I tried > it, it just goes to the next line waiting for input like this: > >> ans$ If you are in the R prompt and you hit <tab> twice after `ans$`, it should show you the names of the elements in the `ans` list. If you use Rstudio[1], the doube <tab> hit will give you a handy dropdown menu list you can choose from. HTH, -steve [1] For what it's worth, I'm not sure how far along in your R-learning you are, but if I were starting out learning R today, I might pick Rstudio as my IDE/interface of choice. -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
