How to call an vector inside a list without explicitly referencing object's name? : <p>I have a list mylist and I know how to call one of its object by its name</p>

<pre><code>head(mylist$"26533")
[1] 39.67125 33.33558 33.75013 51.71748 47.86691 35.98055
</code></pre>

<p>But when I try to get the same result with using x,</p>

<pre><code>x &lt;- "26533"
head(mylist$x)
</code></pre>

<p>R tells me the result is NULL.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem?</p>
