r - Create a separate variable for each element of a list -

i have list of data frames, produced reading in 25 .csv files @ once. unlist data frames begin spatial analysis. is, have individual data frames each element of list.

i have tried unlist(), not produce result want. have tried approach lapply(), produces error. here's i've tried:

x <- 1:3 y <- 4:6  l <- lapply(1:2, function(x){data.frame(x, y)})  lapply(1:length(l), function(i){paste('df', i, sep = '') <- data.frame(l[[i]])}) 

the problem seems in assigning data frame pasted name. wrapping as.character() did not help.

this work:

"df1" <- data.frame(l[[1]]) 

it seems problem somewhere in output of paste() function, output has str() 'chr'. ideas how can make approach work? there cleaner way unlist data frames?

one way of doing it:

list2env(setnames(l,paste0("df",seq_along(l))), envir = parent.frame())  

though heed @baptiste 's advice before late , avoid doing this. why? because in 2 days time you'll find trapped using get() , paste , messy loops try apply function of datasets @ once. if keep them in list can lapply(l,functionname).
