[R] merging-binning data

[Alaios]

Dear all,I am not exactly sure on what is the proper name of what I am trying to do.
I have a vector that looks like
 binDistance
           [,1]
 [1,] 238.95162
 [2,] 143.08590
 [3,]  88.50923
 [4,] 177.67884
 [5,] 277.54116
 [6,] 342.94689
 [7,] 241.60905
 [8,] 177.81969
 [9,] 211.25559
[10,] 279.72702
[11,] 381.95738
[12,] 483.76363
[13,] 480.98841
[14,] 369.75241
[15,] 267.73650
[16,] 138.55959
[17,] 137.93181
[18,] 184.75200
[19,] 254.64359
[20,] 328.87785
[21,] 273.15577
[22,] 252.52830
[23,] 252.52830
[24,] 252.52830
[25,] 262.20084
[26,] 314.93064
[27,] 366.02996
[28,] 442.77467
[29,] 521.20323
[30,] 465.33071
[31,] 366.60582
[32,]  13.69540
so numbers that start from 13 and go up to maximum 522 (I have also many other similar sets).I want to put these numbers into 5 categories and thus I have tried cut


Browse[2]> test<-cut(binDistance,seq(min(binDistance)-0.00001,max(binDistance),length.out=scaleLength+1))
Browse[2]> test
 [1] (217,318]  (115,217]  (13.7,115] (115,217]  (217,318]  (318,420] 
 [7] (217,318]  (115,217]  (115,217]  (217,318]  (318,420]  (420,521] 
[13] (420,521]  (318,420]  (217,318]  (115,217]  (115,217]  (115,217] 
[19] (217,318]  (318,420]  (217,318]  (217,318]  (217,318]  (217,318] 
[25] (217,318]  (217,318]  (318,420]  (420,521]  (420,521]  (420,521] 
[31] (318,420]  (13.7,115]
Levels: (13.7,115] (115,217] (217,318] (318,420] (420,521]


I want then for the numbers of my initial vector that fall within the same "category" lets say the (318,420] to be collected on a vector.I rephrase it the indexes of my initial vector that have a value between 318 to 420 to be put in a same vector that I can process then as I want.
How I can do that effectively in R?
I would like to thank you for your replyRegardsAlex
