Hi,
Here is another option if you already have a list you want to convert.
This will handle different elements of the list being different
lengths.
#Using your example data
mydata <- list(c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6))
data.frame(
OriginalListIndex = rep(x = seq_along(mydata),
times = unlist(lapply(mydata, length))),
Item = unlist(mydata)
)
#Just to demonstrate that this method works generally
mydata <- list(c(1,2,3), c(7,6), c(3,4,5,6,7,8,9))
data.frame(
OriginalListIndex = rep(x = seq_along(mydata),
times = unlist(lapply(mydata, length))),
Item = unlist(mydata)
)
HTH,
Josh
