rbind dataframes from a list

Question

One of my functions return a list of dataframes which I need to concatenate into 1 single dataframe. I do this using:

 do.call(rbind,list_df)

Answer 1

From the output of "out_df", it looks like a nested list. We could try

out <- do.call(rbind, do.call(c, list_df))
str(out)
# 'data.frame':   10 obs. of  5 variables:
# $ v1: int  1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5
# $ v2: int  6 7 8 9 10 6 7 8 9 10
# $ v3: int  11 12 13 14 15 11 12 13 14 15
# $ v4: int  16 17 18 19 20 16 17 18 19 20
# $ v5: int  21 22 23 24 25 21 22 23 24 25

data

list_df <- lapply(1:2, function(i) list(data.frame(v1=1:5, 
       v2= 6:10, v3= 11:15, v4 = 16:20, v5= 21:25)))

Using the OP's code,

do.call(rbind, list_df)
#     [,1]  
#[1,] List,5
#[2,] List,5
