Hi; It seems to me that has probably been asked in the past. But I cannot find the track.
I usually need to extract elements from a list and contruct vector from them; e.g., to create a table. Perhaps there is a way to directly extract them without looping? Simple example: > S.lst $sublist.1 $sublist.1$age [1] 24.58719 $sublist.1$weight [1] 60.82861 $sublist.2 $sublist.2$age [1] 32.39551 $sublist.2$weight [1] 59.46347 etc. I would like to extract, e.g., directly all weights element from each sublist without looping. I know it is possible to do this as: unlist(S.lst)[paste("sublist.",1:length(S.lst),".weight",sep="")] but there is not some short-cut? something like S.lst[[1:length(S.lst)]]$weight ? Thanks and B.regards Javier ---------- ______________________________________________ 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.
