[R] convert multi dimensional array to list

[arun]

Hi,

You can try this:
list2<-lapply(1:dim(my.df.cast)[3],function(i) my.df.cast[,,i,])
 names(list2)<-unlist(dimnames(my.df.cast)[3])
 list2$May
#, , variable = tmax
#
#      name
#year   Alf Que
 # 2011  18  16
 # 2012  18  16

#, , variable = tmin
#
 #     name
#year   Alf Que
 # 2011  12  11
 # 2012  12  11

list2$May[,,"tmax"]
#      name
#year   Alf Que
 # 2011  18  16
 # 2012  18  16


A.K.

Hi Michael

thanks! That was the option if I kept it an array. The list format with $
sign since it leaves me feeling that the names are there and can be easily
accessed. Why would you rather not use the $ sign?

I use R-Studio and there names can be selected from a drop-down list, I have
found it easier but that could be my lack of proper training in R. 

Cheers
Anto
