Hi,
I am not sure I understand the problem. Please provide a reproducible example using ?dput(). mylist <- list(1:3, LETTERS[1:2], rnorm(4)) sample(mylist,1) sample(mylist,1) mylist1 <- list(1:2) sample(mylist1,1) #[[1]] #[1] 1 2 sample(mylist1,1) #[[1]] #[1] 1 2 A.K.

I used sample(mylist,1) it works fine. BUTsome times the list have only one item. that should be chosen in this case since there is no other one. I found that sample return different item not included in the list thanks in advance RAE [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
