elements end with digits that you don't want stripped off (but you can work
around that by preprocessing the list names).

This is a nice solution. Thanks, Dennis. But I am afraid if the length
of the list x isn't equal to the length of x2, there will be errors
since lapply returns a list of the same length.

Hi:
Your clarification suggests Duncan was on the right track, so how about this:
x <- list(A=c("d", "e", "f"), B=c("d", "e"), C=c("d"))
x2 <- unique(unlist(x))
w <- lapply(x, function(u) names(x)[which(x2 %in% u)])
names(w) <- x2
w
$d
[1] "A" "B" "C"
$e
[1] "A" "B"
$f
[1] "A"

Exactly! Sorry I get others misunderstood. The uppercase/lowercase is
only a toy example (and a bad one; yours is better than mine). My
question is a more general one: a list is basically a one-to-many
matching, from the names of a list to the elements belonging to each
name. I'd like to reverse th

In a word, I want to reverse the list names and the
toupper()/tolower()
are the functions to convert the letters.
lapply()
can be used to apply this to different list elements and
names()
is helpfull to convert the names of your list.

There are a few moving pieces to do this:
1) the toupper and tolower functions. These can do almost everything you
need:
x = lapply(x,toupper) ## This changes the things inside x but won't change
the names
2) Now, there are two ways to think about getting the elements from one list
to another: I
