[R] merge numerous columns of unequal length

[markleeds at verizon.net]

you can do below but there's no way of getting arounf having NAs in your 
final matrix.

d1<-as.matrix(rnorm(5))
d2<-as.matrix(rnorm(3))
d3<-as.matrix(rnorm(6))

templist <- list(d1,d2,d3)
maxnum <- max(sapply(templist,length))
print(maxnum)

temp <- lapply(templist,function(.mat) {
   if (nrow(.mat) < maxnum) {
      return(c(.mat,rep(NA,maxnum-nrow(.mat))))
    } else {
      return(.mat)
    }
})

finalmat <- as.matrix(do.call(cbind,temp))
print(finalmat)
