I have a list of isometric structures, and I want to change the same part of
each structure in the list, assigning one element of a vector to each of
these parts.
In other words, I want to achieve the following:
l <- list( list(a=1,b=2), list(a=3,b=4))
unlist(lapply(l, "[[", "a"))
[1] 1 3
# This will not actually work
l[[]]["a"] <- 5:6
unlist(lapply(l, "[[", "a"))
[1] 5 6
I figure mapply is the solution to the problem, and I tried the following:
mapply( "[<-", l, "a", 5:6)
But the result is not the same shape as the original.
Any thoughts?
See
?relist
something like:
relist( unlist( mapply( "[<-", l, "a", 5:6) ), l )
