In the following code, I'd like to be able to create a new variable
containing the value of the names of the list.
a <- data.frame(var.1 = 1:5)
b <- data.frame(var.1 = 11:15)
test.list <- list(a=a, b=b)
# in this case, names(test.list) is "a" and "b"
# and I'd like to use lapply() so that
# I get something that looks like
# var.1 var.2
# 1 a
# 2 a
# 3 a
#etc.
new.list <- lapply(test.list, function(x) {x$var.2 <- names(x)
x} )
# the above clearly doesn't do it. How do you pull out the names of the
thing that is being lapplied?
Thanks,
Andrew
