fileLines[1,2]

As expected!

fileLines[1,3]
[1] 156
As expected!

fileLines[1,1]
[1] AB
29 Levels: AB AB.C ABF10 ABH10 ABH11 ABH12 ABK10 ABK11 ABN10 ABN11 ... WW
Doh!

How do I access the "AB" element directly?

You already did access that element directly. You were given a bit more information than you expected but the value of fileLines[1,1] is "AB" and you were also advised that such value was one of 29 possible values for the particular factor set of which it is a member.
