listToObjects: listToObjects()

In jakesherman/jakemisc: A set of misc. functions from Jake Sherman.

Description

Turns each element of a list into an object in your global environment with the name of each element in the list becoming the name of that object. By default, the list is deleted at the end, although this behavior may be turned off.

Usage

listToObjects(myList, deleteList = TRUE, objectNames = NULL,
  overwriteExisting = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

myList	a list
deleteList	TRUE by default, should the list be deleted after?
objectNames	(optional) a vector of object names, one per element in myList. By default, the names of the objects will be the names of myList, which may be viewed via names(myList)
overwriteExisting	TRUE by default, should the function overwrite existing objects whose names are in names(myList) or the objectNames argument?
verbose	TRUE by default, should the function be verbose?

Examples

jake <- list(a = c(1, 2, 3), b = c(2, 3, 4))
listToObjects(jake)
