[R] Apply a loop containing a function on a list

[jim holtman]

Without a subset of data, it is hard to come up with a solution.  Now
here is a way of determining what names are in common and then maybe
doing something:

B.names <- names(B.list)
A.names <- names(A.list)
common <- intersect(B.names, A.names)
for (i in common){
    B.list[[i]] <- function(A.list[[i]])
}
