There are methods of the "c" function for things of class "POSIXlt" and "Date" so do.call("c", dataList) works instead of unlist: > dateList <- list(LastWeekend=as.POSIXlt(sprintf("2011-12-%d", 10:11)), + Today=as.POSIXlt("2011-12-12")) > z <- do.call("c", dateList) > z LastWeekend1 LastWeekend2 Today "2011-12-10 PST" "2011-12-11 PST" "2011-12-12 PST" > str(z) POSIXlt[1:3], format: "2011-12-10" "2011-12-11" "2011-12-12" - attr(*, "names")="LastWeekend1" "LastWeekend2" "Today"
