Hi, Glad all of them worked. In my reply to you, my first solution was: list2<-lapply(1:10,function(x) vec1) The more generic form should be:
list2<-lapply(1:length(list1),function(x) vec1) A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Spencer Maynes <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 12:47 PM Subject: Re: [R] Assigning a vector to every element of a list. Thanks guys for the help, I'm going to go with Patrick Burns answer because it seems to work the best for my situation, but these all seem like they should work.
