[R] update numeric values of list with new values...

[Evan Cooch]

Solved it:

test <- list(a=1,b=2,c=3)
new <- c(4,5,6)

hold <- as.list(new)
updated_test <- replace(test,c(1:3),hold)

$a
[1] 4

$b
[1] 5

$c
[1] 6



mean.parms <- as.list(mean.parms)

mm.parms <- replace(far.parms,c(1:length(far.parms)),mean.parms)
