[R] Convert components of a list to separate columns in a data frame or matrix XXXX

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

I believe this solves your problem


fun <- function(x){
	f <- function(x, n){
		if(length(x) < n) x <- c(x, rep(NA, n-length(x)))
		return(x)
	}
	lapply(x, f, max(unlist(lapply(x, length))))
}

fun(result)         # the 'result' list above

list2 <- list(x=1:3, y=1:5, z="abc")
fun(list2)


The function returns a list, then it can be made a matrix, a data.frame or
whatever.
