[R] Listing function displayed as a table

[Schmitt, Corinna]

Hallo,
good idea it is working. A new question appears: How can I display the entries in a table like

 name       wife          no.children  child.ages
Fred        Mary            3           4,7,9
Barney      Liz             2           3,5

Thanks, Corinna

Betreff: Re: [R] Listing function

Lst <- list()
Lst[[1]] <- list(name="Fred", wife="Mary", no.children=3, 
cild.ages=c(4,7,9))
Lst[[2]] <- list(name="Barney", wife="Liz", no.children=2, cild.ages=c(3,5))

I.e. a list of lists

Regards

Michael

Program testing can be quite effective for showing the presence of bugs, 
but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence.
