I have a huge list (returned by fromJSON) with elements like this: $`zz/3260` $`zz/3260`$name [1] "myname"
$`zz/3260`$status [1] "active" $`zz/3260`$vectors $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241` $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241`$channel [1] "channel/300" $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241`$targets $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241`$targets[[1]] $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241`$targets[[1]]$range_start [1] "0" $`zz/3260`$vectors$`vector/241`$targets[[1]]$range_end [1] "99" I want a data frame with these column values for the above list element: zz=3260, name="myname", status="active", vector=241, channel=300 range_start=0, range_end=99 (and sometimes $vectors is an empty list, yuk!) my plan is to 1 extract a list of fields 2 convert it to a vector (which I know how to put into a data frame) how do I do that? I can get "zz/3260" with names() and split it with gsub(). I can get "myname" with as.vector(unlist(sapply(a,"[",1)))) is there a shortcut? -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://truepeace.org http://mideasttruth.com http://memri.org http://honestreporting.com http://jihadwatch.org If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? ______________________________________________ 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.
