Folks,

I have a data frame as follows:

foo<-structure(list(name = c("A", "B", "C"), num = c(3L, 2L, 1L)), .Names = 
c("name",
"num"), row.names = c(NA, -3L), class = "data.frame")

str(foo)
'data.frame':   3 obs. of  2 variables:
  $ name: chr  "A" "B" "C"
  $ num : int  3 2 1

foo
   name num
1    A   3
2    B   2
3    C   1

I want to convert this to a list like so:

oof<-list(A = 3, B = 2, C = 1)

You can do it as a one-liner as well:

oof <- setNames(as.list(foo$num), foo$name)

str(oof)
List of 3
  $ A: num 3
  $ B: num 2
  $ C: num 1

oof
$A
[1] 3

$B
[1] 2

$C
[1] 1

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
KW
