you could try something like the following:

groups <- list(gp1 = 1:3, gp2 = 4:5, gp3 = 6:7,
               gp4 = 8:10, gp5 = 11)

combn(5, 2, function (x) expand.grid(groups[x]), simplify = FALSE)
combn(5, 3, function (x) expand.grid(groups[x]), simplify = FALSE)
combn(5, 4, function (x) expand.grid(groups[x]), simplify = FALSE)

and this transforms it nicely into a single matrix

y <- combn(5, 2, function (x) as.matrix(expand.grid(groups[x])), simplify = FALSE)
Reduce(rbind, y)

This is absolutely, totally awesome guys. Thanks very much.

For the benefit of other readers, here is what happened.

I spent 10 minutes composing a question (tried to make it easy to set up). Went off and did some other emailing, decided to check R-help and there were two replies answering my question perfectly.

Thanks again

David Scott
