Dear List I'm a newbie R user. I'm utilizing the list function in order to make a var like this: clusters<-list(a=var1,b=var2....) My problem is that the total numer of variables that I need to include in my list is up to 200. I've the text string with the complete list of my variables but is too long to cut and paste in my bash shell. So is there a way too import the list from a text file? Thank you very much for any kind of help Guido -- Guido Leoni National Research Institute on Food and Nutrition (I.N.R.A.N.) via Ardeatina 546 00178 Rome Italy tel + 39 06 51 49 41 (operator) + 39 06 51 49 498 (direct) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
