[R] smart way to turn a vector into a matrix

[anna]

Hello guys, I am working on a matrix which looks like this one:
> initialMatrix <-
> rbind(cbind(rep("A",3),seq(1,3)),cbind(rep("B",4),seq(1,4)),cbind(rep("C",3),seq(1,3)))
> initialMatrix
      [,1] [,2]
 [1,] "A"  "1" 
 [2,] "A"  "2" 
 [3,] "A"  "3" 
 [4,] "B"  "1" 
 [5,] "B"  "2" 
 [6,] "B"  "3" 
 [7,] "B"  "4" 
 [8,] "C"  "1" 
 [9,] "C"  "2" 
[10,] "C"  "3" 

and I would like to turn it into a list that looks like that but don't know
which operation to apply on it:
> myList<-list()
> myList[[1]]<-cbind(rep("A",3),seq(1,3))
> myList[[2]]<-cbind(rep("B",4),seq(1,4))
> myList[[3]]<-cbind(rep("C",3),seq(1,3))
> myList
[[1]]
     [,1] [,2]
[1,] "A"  "1" 
[2,] "A"  "2" 
[3,] "A"  "3" 

[[2]]
     [,1] [,2]
[1,] "B"  "1" 
[2,] "B"  "2" 
[3,] "B"  "3" 
[4,] "B"  "4" 

[[3]]
     [,1] [,2]
[1,] "C"  "1" 
[2,] "C"  "2" 
[3,] "C"  "3" 
 I thought about a using which and lapply but didn't get to a solution.
There is always a smart way to do it I'm sure but I'm not finding it...Can
somebody help please?
