thank you...the sapply approach seems straight forward, although I don't get the names into an own column... When the list elements are named the name is used for the rownames. I'd like to have them as an own column and no row names... like for the list: list <- list(A=1:4, B=1:6, C=1:9) t(sapply(list, function(x) c(length(x), sum(x > 5), sum(x < 5)))) /Johannes > HTH, > Jorge.- > > > On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 8:50 AM, Johannes Radinger <> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I want to "melt" my list and get certain deskriptive factors (length of > a > > vector etc.) into a dataframe.
