[R] print points from a huge matrix

[Bing Zhang]

Thanks. I made it. For those who have the same problem, here is my data:
> corr2
            100002_at   100003_at  100004_at   100005_at
100002_at  1.00000000 -0.08452797 -0.2977039 -0.10522948
100003_at -0.08452797  1.00000000 -0.2955658  0.02353673
100004_at -0.29770388 -0.29556577  1.0000000  0.20758195
100005_at -0.10522948  0.02353673  0.2075820  1.00000000
100006_at -0.20549685  0.15661089 -0.2132440 -0.48680542
and here is how I did it:
> found2<-which(abs(corr2)>0.8, arr.ind=TRUE)
> cbind(rownames(corr2)[found2[,1]],colnames(corr2)[found2[,2]],corr2[found2])
     [,1]        [,2]        [,3]
[1,] "100002_at" "100002_at" "1"
[2,] "100003_at" "100003_at" "1"
[3,] "100004_at" "100004_at" "1"
[4,] "100005_at" "100005_at" "1"

>(for your condition) should do it. My matrix is a bit smaller though, but
