Hi everybody,

This has been causing me some trouble:

I want to combine several lists of pairs into a single?vector but keep the 
pairs together. The lists are of the form:
(1)?x1 x2 x3... N?
(2) y1 y2 y3..? N

I would like to keep it this way, simply appending one list to another, e.g.
(1) x1i x2i... x1j x2j... N
(2) etc.

A?method like c(...) does not achieve this. It creates a single list, 
disregarding the pairs.

Then you do not literally have a list of pairs.

You need to do this when posting:

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Note:

lp <- list(c(1,2),c(3,4),c(5,6))
lp2 <- list(c(1,2),c(3,4),c(5,6))
c(lp,lp2) # HA! A list of all pairs.

So c(...) works on a list of pairs.

=====

If what you have is a pair of vectors of atomic elements stored as a list, you can use rbind( as.data.frame(list1), as.data.frame(list2) , ... )

If not, I might suggest you either convert your structure to a list of pairs, or a data.frame, and use the one of the above approaches.

Or tell us what your object really is so we might better advise.

Hint see:

        ?str

and use it before replying.

HTH,

Chuck



Is there a more efficient way of doing it?

Thanks!
