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

I'm wondering if stack provides the functions you need (using the example of Henrik)

ll <- list(x1 = c("a", "b", "c"), x2 = c("d", "e"))
stack(ll)
#-------
  values ind
1      a  x1
2      b  x1
3      c  x1
4      d  x2
5      e  x2
