[R] Assigning a vector to every element of a list.

[arun]

Hi,

Glad all of them worked.  In my reply to you, my first solution was:
list2<-lapply(1:10,function(x) vec1)
The more generic form should be:

list2<-lapply(1:length(list1),function(x) vec1)


A.K.

Thanks guys for the help, I'm going to go with Patrick Burns answer because
it seems to work the best for my situation, but these all seem like they
should work.
