I forgot to answer to the last part of your question. I think what you call a list is actually an element of a list, right? If so, the command you want depends on the way you want to combine these elements.
For example, the following lines will extract columns 12 and 13 of any array-like element of your list and bind them into columns of a same array (if all your elements have the same number of rows). List2 <- lapply (NameOfYourList, function (dat, NumCol) dat[,NumCol], c(12,13)) Array2 <- do.call (cbind, List2) If you meant something else by 'combine", please be more explicit.
