Follow-on question: is there a way to do this for higher-dimensional (i.e.
more than 2 dimensions) arrays?

The apply method I just posted generalizes to higher dimensional arrays.

Try this:

y$values <- diag(x[y$ltrs, y$mnths])

Dear R-Users,
I need to lookup values from a 2-d table using the row names and column names as indices. I was wondering if there's a way to do this without an
explicit loop.

Example:
#x is the 2-d table that holds the values

x <- matrix(rnorm(26*12),nrow=26)

rownames(x) <- letters

colnames(x) <- month.name


#y is a data frame that has the "keys" I want to use as indices into x

y <- data.frame(ltrs=sample(letters,5),mnths=sample(month.name
,5),values=0)


#I want to fill in the "values" column using the "ltrs" and "mnths"
columns
as keys to look up
