hi, I would like to easily query the weight (or label) of an edge given its name. e.g. suppose I have a graph 'g' whose nodes are labeled A1, A2, ... I want to do something like: getEdge(g, "A1~A3")$weight Any suggestions? The best I can do at the moment is the code below, but I don't find it very elegant that I need to do [[1]], and I don't like to reinvent the wheel. Is there a standard function I can use? Gustavo parseTilde <- function(s) unlist(strsplit(s,"~")) getEdgeWeight <- function(g, edgeName){ nodePair <- parseTilde(edgeName) edgeData(g, from=nodePair[1], to=nodePair[2])[[1]]$weight }
