Hi Michael thanks! That was the option if I kept it an array. The list format with $ sign since it leaves me feeling that the names are there and can be easily accessed. Why would you rather not use the $ sign?
It would be better in programing to learn to use the "[[" operator for which '$' is just a particular application that is less flexible because it won't evaluate its argument.
I use R-Studio and there names can be selected from a drop-down list, I have found it easier but that could be my lack of proper training in R.
You should be able to do that with column names in dataframes using object[["col"]]
