R help - Jun 2003 - indexing into a list

I am trying to make an array of lists.  I don't think that I am doing it
right
however because I cannot access the individual elements of the lists once I 
have created the array of lists.  Can someone help?


for(i in 1:3){
     y[[i]] =  list(name[((i-1)*index+1):(i*index)])
   }

Certainly you are not going to create an array of lists, but you are 
going to create "just" a list. See the manuals for details.

If "name" is an atomic vector, you won't need a list, but to stay
within
  your example:

  y[[i]] <- name[((i-1)*index+1):(i*index)]

to write the assignment's right hand side to the i-th element of list y.
