Tena koe Jim You could use unlist and matrix. For example:
> tempList [[1]] [1] "a" "A" [[2]] [1] "b" "B" [[3]] [1] "c" "C" > unlist(tempList) [1] "a" "A" "b" "B" "c" "C" > matrix(unlist(tempList), nrow=3) [,1] [,2] [1,] "a" "B" [2,] "A" "c" [3,] "b" "C" > matrix(unlist(tempList), nrow=3, byrow=T) [,1] [,2] [1,] "a" "A" [2,] "b" "B" [3,] "c" "C" > matrix(unlist(tempList), nrow=3, byrow=T)[,1] [1] "a" "b" "c" HTH ....
