Hi there,
I have a very simple question. If I execute the following code:
test <- function(x) {
name <- paste(x,"info_within_function")
c(1,2,3,4,5)
}
ret <- lapply(1:10, test)
, I end up with a list and each entry is just numbered [[1]], [[2]], ... [[10]]
How can I force the result entries gettings names which are determined within
the function. For this example, I'd like the entries named like:
"1 info_within_function" instead of [[1]]
"2 info_within_function" instead of [[2]]
and so on.
(that's why I put this strange "name <- ..." line inside)
Can anybody help me what I have to do to get the returned list entries like this?
Thanks a lot!
Antje
