Splitting a set of vectors in a list
Ideally something like this:
======================================================
t(cbind( c("cat" , "peach" , NA, NA), bbb <- c("dog"
, "apple" ,"iron", NA),
ccb <- c("rabbit" ,"orange" ,"zinc" , "silk" )))
======================================================
Thanks

What would you want your output matrix to look like given mylist? John Kane wrote:
I have a set of character vectors of uneven length that I have stored in a list. I can easily enough

any column of them using lapply but what I want
is to
be able to create a matrix of them. Other than

kind of brute force looping approach I have drawn
a
blank.
Would somebody please suggest something? Thanks
Example.
mylist <- list(aa=c("cat","peach" ), bb=c("dog",
"apple", "iron"),
cc = c("rabbit", "orange", "zinc",
"silk"))
myfun <- function(dff) dff[1]
vect1 <- unlist(lapply(mylist, myfun))
