R: Extract Something From an oce Object

[[,oce-method {oce} | R Documentation

## Extract Something From an oce Object

### Description

The named item is sought first in `metadata`, where an exact match to the name is required. If it is not present in the `metadata` slot, then a partial-name match is sought in the `data` slot. Failing both tests, an exact-name match is sought in a field named `dataNamesOriginal` in the object's `metadata` slot, if that field exists. Failing that, `NULL` is returned.

To get information on the specialized variants of this function, type e.g. `?"[[,adv-method"` for information on extracting data from an object of `adv-class`.

### Usage
