It depends on what you mean by "the first one." In sequence, or in order? In sequence, use "%" for the prior result, "%%" for the one before that, and so forth. If you mean in order, if the previous result is a list or matrix, using indexing: Table example: In[8]:= Table[x*x, {x, 1, 7}] Out[8]= {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49} In[9]:= %[[6]] Out[9]= 36 Matrix example: In[10]:=Table[x*y, {x, 1, 5}, {y, 1, 5}] Out[10]={{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, {3, 6, 9, 12, 15}, {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}, {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}} In[11]:=%[[5, 5]] Out[11]=25 -- Paul Lutus www.arachnoid.com
