Filter Values Out of R Output

Hi list

Is there a possibility to filter certain values out of an R output?

In my case: I want to create a vector of p-values in a for loop that
invokes for every increment cor.test() on two vectors.

I haven't found a way yet to tell cor.test() to only return the p-values
instead of the whole text.

str() will compactly display the structure of an object, including the
result of calling cor.test().  Once you know the structure, you can
isolate and save a component.

x <- c(44.4, 45.9, 41.9, 53.3, 44.7, 44.1, 50.7, 45.2, 60.1)
y <- c( 2.6,  3.1,  2.5,  5.0,  3.6,  4.0,  5.2,  2.8,  3.8)

str(cor.test(x, y, method = "kendall", alternative = "greater"))
List of 8
 $ statistic  : Named num 26
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "T"
 $ parameter  : NULL
 $ p.value    : num 0.0597
 $ estimate   : Named num 0.444
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "tau"
 $ null.value : Named num 0
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "tau"
 $ alternative: chr "greater"
 $ method     : chr "Kendall's rank correlation tau"
 $ data.name  : chr "x and y"
 - attr(*, "class")= chr "htest"

cor.test(x, y, method = "kendall", alternative = "greater")$p.value
[1] 0.05971947

Thanks,
Tobi
