hashing using named lists
You could try using environments: > e <- new.env(hash = TRUE) > e$new <- 1:4 > ls(e) [1] "new" > e$new [1] 1 2 3 4 > e$ne NULL -roger

hi all, I am trying to use named list to hash a bunch of vector by name, for instance: test = list() test$name = c(1,2,3) the problem is that when i try to get the values back by using the name, the matching isn't done in an exact way, so test$na is not NULL. is there a way around this? Why by default all.equal.list doesnt require an exact match? How can I do hashing in R? thanks. ulas.
