R help - Jan 2009 - How to assign names in a list

Hi All


How can you associate names with a list when names have not been
assigned? For example if you have a list like this:


list2<-list(1,2,3)
list2

[[1]]
[1] 1

[[2]]
[1] 2

[[3]]
[1] 3


How do you make it look like this with names? :

f1<-1
f2<-2
f3<-3
list1<-list(name1=f1, name2=f2, name3=f3)
list1
$name1
[1] 1

$name2
[1] 2

$name3
[1] 3

Thanks for any help.

I expect there is a simple answer but I cannot find it ...


Regards

John

If I understand correctly:

names(list2) <- paste("name", 1:3, sep = "")
