[R] reading in a (very simple) list from a file

[VA Smith]

Hi again! Just in case someone ends up googling this for the same thing I
did, here is a modification to get around a little problem:

 dat1<-data.frame(keys=paste("key",5:1,sep=""),value=1:5)
splitlist <- split(dat1,dat1$keys)
list3<-sapply(splitlist,`[`,2) 
 names(list3)<-names(splitlist) 
list3$key2 
[1] 4

Because the list after split is stored in alphabetical order by name, it
reorders things, so you need to use that order when you name it.

Thanks again,
Anne
