#let's suppose I have a list like this mytest<-list(45, NULL, 18, NULL, 99)
#to note that this is just an amended example because in fact #I'm dealing with a long list (more than 400 elements) #with no evident pattern of the NULL values #I want to end up with a data frame like the following data.frame(i=c(1,3,5), n=c(45,18,99)) #i.e. a data frame storing in #column i the number of corresponding element list #column n the unique component of that element #I've been trying with do.call(rbind, mytest) #or do.call(rbind.data.frame, mytest) #but this approach is not properly achieving the desired result #now I'm in trouble on how to store each element number of the list in the first column data frame #any help for this? #thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
