Hi all,

I would like to iterate through a list with named elements and access the
names within an lapply / sapply call. One way to do this is iterate through
the names and index the list with the name.  Is there a way to iterate
through the list elements themselves and access the element names within in
the function? For example,

mylist <- list("a"=c(1,2),"b"=c(3,4),"c"=c(5,6))
sapply(mylist,function(x){
  #get name of list elements ("a", "b", "c")
  #then do other stuff
})

Thanks for your suggestions.

Jonathan
