[R] decompose a correlation matrix

[Mark Strivens]

Thanks for the answers the appear to be just
right. 

i.e. 

corrmat[upper.tri(corrmat)]

or

x[col(x)>row(x)] 

The slight problem is I lose all the column &
row labels from the correlation matrix, so I 
am not sure of the order of the values (i.e.
which combination of markers the value 
represents).

Is there anyway to drag the labels along with
the value extraction?
