[R] converting a list with named member to a vector maintaining original names

[arun]

To get the vector
setNames(stack(test)[,1],stack(test)[,2])
#ABCC2 ABCC5 ABCC5 
#37280 12268 13308 

#or
setNames(unlist(test),stack(test)[,2])
#ABCC2 ABCC5 ABCC5 
#37280 12268 13308

You could do:
stack(test)[,2:1]
#    ind values
#1 ABCC2  37280
#2 ABCC5  12268
#3 ABCC5  13308

Dear R users,

I have a list that I'd like to convert to a vector while preserving the original names.
For example:

test <- list(ABCC2=37280,ABCC5=c(12268,13308));

If I do unlist, it automatically renamed the ABCC5 to ABCC51 and ABCC52
> unlist(test)
 ABCC2 ABCC51 ABCC52 
 37280  12268  13308 

How do I retained the original names so I'll get:
ABCC2 37280
ABCC5 12268
ABCC5 13308

Thank you in advance for your help.
