Hello:
Do you know of a simple function to return the value of a named element of a list if that exists, and return a default value otherwise?
It's an easy function to write (e.g., below). I plan to add this to the "Ecfun" package unless I find it in another CRAN package.
Thanks, Spencer getElement <- function(element, default, list){ # get element of list; return elDefault if absent El <- list[[element]] if(is.null(El)){ El <- default } El } ______________________________________________ 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.
