as.vector(sapply(alist, "[[", "vec"))
For the second case, I think you just need to use lapply():
alist <- lapply(seq(along = alist), function(i) alist[[i]]$name <- new.names[i])

For a long time I've wanted a way to conveniently extract multiple elements from a list, which [[ doesn't allow. Can anyone suggest an efficient function to do this? Wouldn't it be a sensible addition to R?
For example,
alist <- list() alist[[1]] <- list() alist[[1]]$name <- "first" alist[[1]]$vec <- 1:4 alist[[2]] <- list() alist[[2]]$name <- "second" alist[[2]]$vec <- 5:8 both.vec <- c(alist[[1]]$vec, alist[[2]]$vec)
Can I get both.vec without c() or an explicit loop?
and
new.names <- c("one", "two") alist[[1]]$name <- new.names[1] alist[[2]]$name <- new.names[2]
Could I assign the new values in a quasi-vectorized way?
