how to get a value from a list (using paste function)?
it is also a fortune.
fortune('parse')
If the answer is parse() you should usually rethink the question.

No, never ever! There is an R idiom made for it: cvtest[[lambda.rule]] Uwe Ligges I hope this works.

A possible solution: get(lambda.rule,envir=**list2env(cvtest)) On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 12:34 PM, Soyeon Kim <yunni0731 at gmail.com> wrote: Dear my R friends,
I want to get a number from a list using paste function.
In my example,
lambda.rule <- "lambda.1se"
cvtest is a list (result from cv.glmnet)
and
cvtest$lambda.1se
[1] 1.308973
I want to call the value using paste function.
I used get function but there was an error.
test <- get(paste("cvtest$",lambda.**rule, sep=""))
Error in get(paste("cvtest$", lambda.rule, sep = "")) :
object 'cvtest$lambda.1se' not found
Do you guys know how to solve this issue?
Thank you so much in advance and merry Christmas!
