R help - Dec 2009 - Container/Collection Object to keep data structures and object

I want to have a collection object that can store objects. In R I only saw
lists. But these only seem to be able to handle basic objects like numbers and
strings. Whenever I tried to add more complicated objects or just very simple
data structures like matrices I would get an error like:

"number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length"

What is the general purpose collection object in R to store more complex
objects, or how are these things generally approached?


Kind Regards,

Amir

Lists should be capable of holding any arbitrary R object.  How are you
trying to insert components such as a matrix?
