[Muhammad Subianto]

Dear all,
How can I take a levels from a dataset.
For example,

data(iris)
x.iris <- iris[,1:4]
y.iris <- iris[,5]
> y.iris
  [1] setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa   
  [7] setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa     setosa   
....
[139] virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica
[145] virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica  virginica
Levels: setosa versicolor virginica
 
I want like,
y.iris level are,
[] setosa versicolor virginica
