In R write list with several elements to data.frame

Question

I have a named list whose each element is a character vector. I want to write this list into a single dataframe where I have two columns, one with the name of the character vect

Answer 1

Maybe

data.frame(vecname = rep(names(ll), sapply(ll, length)), chars = unlist(ll))

to have each element of each list component correspond to a row in the final dataframe.
