> ls $a [1] "a" $c [1] "c" and if it's hidden, how call ls$b or ls$.b? asking because element b may large , don't want list out used next analysis.
you can specify new class , new print function objet :
x <- vector("list", 3l) names(x) <- letters[1:3] x[[1]] <- 1 x[[2]] <- "the element hide" x[[3]] <- "a" class(x) <- c("bob", "list") attr(x, "hidden") <- "b" print.bob <- function (x) { hid <- attr(x, "hidden") print(x[!names(x) %in% hid]) } x $a [1] 2 $c [1] 4 # length(x) [1] 3 hth
