Dear list, I have to use a list of lists containing vectors. For instance : [[1]] [[1]][[1]] [1] 1 2 3 [[1]][[2]] [1] 3 2 1 I want to attribute vectors to the main list without use of an intermediate list, but it does not work : x <- list() x[[1]][[1]] <- c(1, 2, 3) x[[1]][[2]] <- c(3, 2, 1) Thanks in advance, Carlos
