I want to manipulate lists as described below:
Imagine these two lists:
> list1
$WR7
[1] 1 2 3 4
$YH5YH6
[1] 3 4 5 6 7
$YH4
[1] 4 5
$UC4UC8
[1] 4 5 6 7 8 9
> list2
V1 V2
1 WR7 Averrhoa
2 ? Sarcotheca
3 YH5YH6 caesia
4 YH4 arbuscula
5 UC4UC8 rosea
6 ? acetosella
How can I exchange the names(list1) by the entries in the second
column of list2,
if (a) length(list1) ? length(list2) and (b) the elements of both
lists are not in the same order? Is there a easy way to do this?
Thank you!
