Hi I have a list that has attributes:
attributes(lis[2]) $names [1] "150096_at" I want to use those attributes in a function and then use lapply to apply that function to every element of the list, eg for simplicity's sake: my.fun <- function(x) { attributes(x) } Then l2 <- lapply(lis, my.fun) It seems that "attributes(x)" within the function is not the same as eg. "attributes(lis[2])" used outside of the function, ie the attributes have changed. Help for someone who's trying to understand lists? Many thanks Mick [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
