I am new to R Programming. I wrote a sample program and that returns a value of a particular column in a matrix. When I print the value i get something like this

[1] APPLE
2 Levels : 1 2

How do I get only the value without the levels in the output.

Thanks in advance.

Just to expand on A5C1D2H2I1M1N2O1R2T1's comment, the following command is what prints the variable APPLE without all that levels stuff:

 as.character(APPLE)

To get help on the command within R type:

?as.character

Here is an online R help entry for the command:
