One thing you might do is to transform the data into a format that is easier to combine; I like using 'merge':
> mynames=cbind(c('a','b'),c(11,22)) > lst=list(a=c(1,2), b=5) > mynames [,1] [,2] [1,] "a" "11" [2,] "b" "22" > lst $a [1] 1 2 $b [1] 5 > mynames.df <- as.data.frame(mynames) > mynames.df V1 V2 1 a 11 2 b 22 > lst.s <- stack(lst) > lst.s values ind 1 1 a 2 2 a 3 5 b > merge(mynames.df, lst.s, by.x="V1", by.y="ind") V1 V2 values 1 a 11 1 2 a 11 2 3 b 22 5 > On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 8:06 AM, Yuan Jian <jayuan2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I could not find a clear solution for the follow question. please allow me > to ask. thanks > > mynames=cbind(c('a','b'),c(11,22)) > lst=list(a=c(1,2), b=5) > > now I try to combine mynames and lst: > a 1 11 > a 2 11 > b 5 22 > > thanks > jian > > > > > [[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. > > -- Jim Holtman Cincinnati, OH +1 513 646 9390 What is the problem that you are trying to solve? ______________________________________________ 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.
