'lapply' is your friend:
lapply(y, function(.element) {...process each element of the list....})
> y <- list(a=1:10, b=letters, c=LETTERS)
> invisible(lapply(y, function(.ele) {print(.ele); cat("------\n")}))
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
------
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p"
"q" "r" "s" "t" "u" "v" "w" "x"
[25] "y" "z"
------
[1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J" "K" "L" "M" "N" "O" "P"
"Q" "R" "S" "T" "U" "V" "W" "X"
[25] "Y" "Z"
