Hello,

is there an elegant way, how I can convert each row of a data frame into distinct elements of a list?

In essence, what I'm looking for is something like

rows.to.lists <- function( df ) {
        ll <- NULL
        for( i in 1:nrow(df) )
                ll <- append( ll, list(df[i,]) )
        return (ll)
}

but more done more efficiently (the data frame may contain ten-thousands of rows). I thought about using apply() but this function always returns a matrix.

Thanks in advance!

Bye,
Sebastian
