Automatically split function output (list) into component data.frames
I have a functions which yields 2 dataframes. As functions can only return one object, I combined these dataframes as a list. However, I need to work with both dataframes separately. Is there a way to automatically split the list into the component dataframes, or to write the function in a way that both objects are returned separately?
The function:
install.packages("plyr")
require(plyr)
fun.docmerge <- function(x, y, z, crit, typ, doc = checkmerge) {
mergedat <- paste(deparse(substitute(x)), "+",
deparse(substitute(y)), "=", z)
countdat <- nrow(x)
check_t1 <- data.frame(mergedat, countdat)
z1 <- join(x, y, by = crit, type = typ)
countdat <- nrow(z1)
check_t2 <- data.frame(mergedat, countdat)
doc <- rbind(doc, check_t1, check_t2)
t1<-list()
t1[["checkmerge"]]<-doc
t1[[z]]<-z1
return(t1)
}
This is the call to the function, saving the result list to the new object results
.
results <- fun.docmerge(x = df1, y = df2, z = "df3", crit = c("id"), typ = "left")
In the following sample data to replicate the problem:
df1 <- structure(list(id = c("XXX1", "XXX2", "XXX3",
"XXX4"), tr.isincode = c("ISIN1", "ISIN2",
"ISIN3", "ISIN4")), .Names = c("id", "isin"
), row.names = c(NA, 4L), class = "data.frame")
df2 <- structure(list(id= c("XXX1", "XXX5"), wrong= c(1L,
1L)), .Names = c("id", "wrong"), row.names = 1:2, class = "data.frame")
checkmerge <- structure(list(mergedat = structure(integer(0), .Label = character(0), class = "factor"),
countdat = numeric(0)), .Names = c("mergedat", "countdat"
), row.names = integer(0), class = "data.frame")
In the example, a list with the dataframes df3
and checkmerge
are returned. I would need both dataframes separately. I know that I could do it via manual assignment (eg, checkmerge <- results$checkmerge
) but I want to eliminate manual changes as much as possible and am therefore looking for an automated way.
