Dynamic string as element name in a list

Hi Henrique,

Try this:

 foo <- function(x)
 {
 clipname <- "LK"
 out <- list()
 out[[clipname]] <- rnorm(5)
 return(out)
}

That easy ... Hadn't thought of it.  But now I have a refinement in foo()

foo <- function(x) {
out <- list()
lapply(x$clipno, function(c) {
  clipname <- x$clipname
  # stuff
  out[[clipname]] <- rnorm(5)
})
return(out)
}

But this returns the/an empty list?


Best regards,
