It is possible to put dimensionality on a list (i.e., a generic vector), which might be what you're looking for.
x <- list(1:4, letters[1:4], function(x,y) x + y, rnorm(50)) dim(x) <- c(2,2) x[[1,2]] x[[2,2]] x[[3,2]] # Error Best, Michael On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 8:19 AM, Thomas C. <thomas.csa...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, > > i'm trying to figure out if there's any possibility to write a whole vector > into a matrix or data.frame or something like that. i don't mean > transormation.
