Hi Daniel, In your case, I guess you could use: col1 = rep(attributes(my.list)$names,lapply(my.list,length)) ; col2 = unlist(my.list,use.names=FALSE) ; my.data.frame = as.data.frame(cbind(col1,col2)) ; This should work well. Cheers, Luc Daniel Brewer wrote: Hello, What is the best way to t

Hello, What is the best way to turn a list into a data.frame? I have a list with something like: $`3845` [1] "04010" "04012" "04360" $`1029` [1] "04110" "04115" And I would like to get a data frame like the following: 3845 "04010" 3845 "04012" 3845 "04360" 1029 "04110" 1029 "04115" Any ideas
