[R] match lists

[bogdan romocea]

What is it that you don't know how to do? Loop over the matrices from
the 2 lists and merge them two by two, for example
AB <- list() ; id <- 1
for (i in 1:length(A)) for (j in 1:length(B)) {
   AB[[id]] <- merge(A[[i]],B[[j]],...)
   id <- id + 1
}
To better keep track of who's who, you may want to set up A and B as
named lists, and replace id with
paste(names(A)[i],names(B)[j]).
