Thanks Henrique and Marc for your reply, both worked. However I need one more suggestion on from list to matrix dat <- vector("list", 3) dat[[1]] <- rnorm(5) dat[[2]] <- rnorm(15) dat[[3]] <- rnorm(3) > dat [[1]] [1] 0.7615421 0.4151374 0.6534402 1.5999338 1.4131837 [[2]] [1] 0.7364765 2.0786904 -1.1087768 1.5091391 -0.1448301 1.6015788 1.8039138 1.1194863 1.4907951 0.5324749 [11] 0.6792318 -0.8328359 -1.8009706 -0.8523432 0.5314461 [[3]] [1] -0.4350899 -0.2610924 -0.6489858
Now I want to convert "dat" to a matrix. I tried following: > Reduce("cbind", dat) init [1,] 0.7615421 0.7364765 -0.4350899 [2,] 0.4151374 2.0786904 -0.2610924 [3,] 0.6534402 -1.1087768 -0.6489858 [4,] 1.5999338 1.5091391 -0.4350899 [5,] 1.4131837 -0.1448301 -0.2610924 [6,] 0.7615421 1.6015788 -0.6489858 [7,] 0.4151374 1.8039138 -0.4350899 [8,] 0.6534402 1.1194863 -0.2610924 [9,] 1.5999338 1.4907951 -0.6489858 [10,] 1.4131837 0.5324749 -0.4350899 [11,] 0.7615421 0.6792318 -0.2610924 [12,] 0.4151374 -0.8328359 -0.6489858 [13,] 0.6534402 -1.8009706 -0.4350899 [14,] 1.5999338 -0.8523432 -0.2610924 [15,] 1.4131837 0.5314461 -0.6489858 Here you see values of vector with smaller length is getting repeated. Instead of repetition, I would like to fill those with "NA" (or possibly some predefined fixed value) Would you please suggest me how to do that?

I am looking for some way to avoid for loop. It will be really helpful if somebody points me on that.
