I have a tightly coupled collection of variables with different lengths and types (some characters and others numerics).  I looked at the documentation for data.frame, but indicates that it expects all variables to have the same length, i.e. number of elements.  
 
I was hoping the "See Also" documentation for data.frame would have helped, but it did not have any good leads.  

Here is a list of data I would like to store together:
(FileName (character string), 
 HighValue (numeric),
 LowValue (numeric), 
 Units (character), 
 OthersValues (array of numerics), 
 Descriptor (character string))
 
By any chance is there a generic object type feature within R to store such data together in one variable?  
 
Thank you for any details and leads you can provide.
