I'm interested in using a data frame as if it were a hash table. For instance if I had the following, > (d <- data.frame(key=seq(0.5, 3, 0.5), value=rnorm(6))) key value 1 0.5 -1.118665122 2 1.0 0.465122921 3 1.5 -0.529239211 4 2.0 -0.147324638 5 2.5 -1.531503795 6 3.0 -0.002720434 Then I'd like to be able to quickly retrieve the "value" of "key" 1.5
