Try this: matrix(list(1, 11, 111, 2, 22, 222), nc = 2, dimnames = list(NULL, c("a", "b")))
or out <- list(1, 11, 111, 2, 22, 222) dim(out) <- c(3, 2) colnames(out) <- c("a", "b") On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 7:51 PM, Andrew Yee <y...@post.harvard.edu> wrote: > Take the following code: > foo <- list() > > foo[[1]] <- list(a=1, b=2) > foo[[2]] <- list(a=11, b=22) > foo[[3]] <- list(a=111, b=222) > > result <- do.call(rbind, foo) > result[,'a'] > > In this case, result[,'a'] shows a list.
