[R] Numeric, 2 ??? as a result of marix???

[Gabor Grothendieck]

g does not appear to be a matrix, as described.   Its more
likely a data frame.   If that is the case then as.matrix(g)
will create a matrix from it.

Also depending on what you want to do ?unlist, ?t or ?c
may be of help.  Also try str(g) and dput(g) to see
internals of object as they seem not to be what you
believe them to be.
