This is probably basic but I want to condition based on the name of the component inside an lapply.
So, in the simple example below, if .elem was x i want to do one thing but if it's y a different thing etc. Can someone tell me how to do that without using names(temp) as the thing one sends into the lapply ? Thanks. temp <- list(x=2,y=3,x=4) invisible(lapply(temp, function(.elem) { print(.elem) })) ______________________________________________ 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.
