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.
