lget: Apply getElement over a list
In smerc: Statistical Methods for Regional Counts

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

lget or lgetElement applies getElement to a list using lapply. sget and sgetElement do the same thing with sapply.

lget(X, name)

lgetElement(X, name)

sget(X, name, simplify = TRUE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)

sgetElement(X, name, simplify = TRUE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)

`X`	A list.
`name`	A literal character string or a name (possibly backtick quoted). For extraction, this is normally (see under ‘Environments’) partially matched to the `names` of the object.
`simplify`	logical or character string; should the result be simplified to a vector, matrix or higher dimensional array if possible? For `sapply` it must be named and not abbreviated. The default value, `TRUE`, returns a vector or matrix if appropriate, whereas if `simplify = "array"` the result may be an `array` of “rank” (=`length(dim(.))`) one higher than the result of `FUN(X[[i]])`.
`USE.NAMES`	logical; if `TRUE` and if `X` is character, use `X` as `names` for the result unless it had names already. Since this argument follows `...` its name cannot be abbreviated.

A list (lget) or vector (sget) of the same length as X with the name parts of each element of X.

e1 = list(x = rnorm(5),
          y = letters[c(1:2, 2:1, 3)],
          z = c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE)
)
e2 = list(x = rnorm(5),
          y = letters[c(1:4, 1)],
          z = c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE))
X = list(e1, e2)
lget(X, name = "x")
sget(X, name = "y")
