[R] Writing a list help

[Jagat.K.Sheth at wellsfargo.com]

You can get all the rownames by calling write.table once on something
like

# if all list elements have equal length
t(data.frame(MyList))
# otherwise, let NA extend where needed
t(do.call(cbind, lapply(MyList, ts))) 

You can take care of NAs as needed on your end.

hi there,
I have a list called MyList.

MyList[[1]]
[1] "SRY"

 [2] "RPS4Y1"

 [3] "ZFY"

 [4] "ZFX /// ZFY"

 [5] "LOC728137"

 [6] "LOC100101116 /// TTTY1"

 [7] "AMELY"

 [8] "TBL1Y"

 [9] "PRKY"           
[[2]]
.
.
.
[[24]]

I have list.I wanna write it to file.

for(i in 1:24)
{
write.table(as.vector(as.matrix(MyLIST[[i]]
file="geneset.txt",sep="\t",append=T) 
}

I used a for loop to write my list.It worked but i have two concerns
with
it.

First while writing in a txt file it writing in the names verticaly as
it
appears above but i want it to in row
it should look like
SRY" RPS4Y1" ZFY" ZFX /// ZFY" AMELY"  TBL1Y"   PRKY"   

second is i want the list name as my row name.

I tried some thing like row.names=names(mylist[[i]]) but it didnit work.

kindly let me know ur suggestions as how to go about it.

Regards
Ramya
