Hi, The solution that works now is
closeAllConnections() But even if I replace the 'list' with the 'array' I get a similar error. "Exception is Error in UseMethod(\"close\"): no applicable method for 'close' applied to an object of class \"c('double', 'numeric')\"\n" #Write each CPU's utilization data into a #separate file filelist.array <- function(n){ cpufile <- list() cpufiledescriptors <- array(n,dim=c(0,n)) length(cpufile) <- n for (i in 1:n) { cpufile[[i]] <- paste("output", i, ".txt", sep = "") cpufiledescriptors[i]<-file( cpufile[[i]], "a" ) } listoffiles <- list(cpufile=cpufile, cpufiledescriptors=cpufiledescriptors) return (listoffiles) } Thanks, Mohan Re: [R] List of lists Jim Lemon to: mohan.radhakrishnan 31-07-2013 05:19 PM On 07/31/2013 04:18 PM, mohan.radhakrish...@polarisft.com wrote: > Hi Jim, > > close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[1]]) > close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[2]]) > close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[3]]) > > I might be doing something wrong.

I entered your function in R: filelist.array<- function(n){ cpufile<- list() cpufiledescriptors<- list() length(cpufile)<- n for (i in 1:n) { cpufile[[i]]<- paste("output", i, ".txt", sep = "") cpufiledescriptors[[i]]<-file( cpufile[[i]], "a" ) } listoffiles<- list(cpufile=cpufile, cpufiledescriptors=cpufiledescriptors) return (listoffiles) } and then: filedescriptors<-filelist.array(3) close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[1]]) close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[2]]) close(filedescriptors$cpufiledescriptors[[3]]) and it worked fine. Perhaps a typo in your code somewhere? Jim This e-Mail may contain proprietary and confidential information and is sent for the intended recipient(s) only.
