R help - Apr 2011 - str() without any details - only structure? (removing elements from list)

Hello,

can I get somehow the pure structure without any details
via str or other functions?

I have a very large list with lists as elements...
And now I want to know which structure I have, becaiuse I need to kick out some
entries.

Any idea?

Oliver

Look at TkListView in the TeachingDemos package as one option (though for large
lists it is noticeably slower than str).  It creates a tree structure
representing your list that you can then expand or collapse branches in.
