?unlist

    Given a list structure x, unlist simplifies it to produce a vector which contains all the atomic components which occur in x.

unlist(v.row)

       167 165 177 177 177 177

 

You can do it with as.vector also, but you need to provide the correct mode:

 as.vector(v.row,mode='numeric')
