Re: [R] coercing a list into matrix

Hi Ken, If your lists are not too large something such as this can work: > matrixFromList <- function(listX) t(sapply(listX, function(x, n) c(x, rep(NA, > n))[1:n], n = max(sapply(listX, length > matrixFromList(list(c(3,2,3),c(6,5))) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,]323 [2,]65
