[R] Help on Select.list

[Ravi S. Shankar]

Hi David,
Thank you for your response. But that wasn't what I was looking for.
names=c("Ravi", "Raj","Shubha","Nivriti")
select.list(names)  gives a pop up with the 4 names. I just wanted in
the pop up a heading (say BOYS) followed by two names and another
heading (say GIRLS) and the remaining two names.

Is there a way I can include headings in the select.list()


Thank you once again for the help.
Regards
Ravi

See if these beginnings get you any further:

 > ifelse( names %in% c("Ravi", "Raj") ,"Boys", "Girls")
[1] "Boys"  "Boys"  "Girls" "Girls"


 > names[names %in% c("Ravi", "Raj")]
[1] "Ravi" "Raj"

[1] "Shubha"  "Nivriti"

In any case you will need to provided a master list of either (or  
both) boy names and girl names.

I'm afraid that did not make much sense to me.
