Subject: Unexpected error "subset assignment" (bug?)
In-Reply-To: <CA0BCF3BED56294AB91E3AD74B849FD57F4001@us-arlington-0668.mail.saic.com>
I didn't know anything about as.raw(), so I did ?as.raw and it refer
to raw vector, so my guess is that it doesn't work with matrix types.
The following modified code seems to work, however:
b = matrix(0, 8,8)
q = 1:8
b[1,] = q
b <- as.raw(b)
dim(b) <- c(8,8)
HTH,
Roger
