R help - May 2007 - function similar to "get" that works for both an object, and elements of an object?

#Is there a single function similar to "get" that works for both an
object, and elements of an object ?
#(I want the function to be able to return objects, and/or the deeper elements
of an object.)

#(i.e. elements of a dataframe and/or list)?

#e.g.

tempdf = data.frame(a=c(4,5,6) , b=c(10,11,12) )

templist= list(x=tempdf, y=c(1,2))

get('tempdf') #works as desired

get('tempdf$a') #retrusn errro message

get('templist$x') #retrusn errro message

 
---------------------------------
8:00? 8:25? 8:40?  Find a flick in no time

Try:

get('tempdf')$a

get('templist')$x
