Extract vectors from list to dataframe columns [duplicate]

Question

I have a list that contains vectors of strings like this:

A <- list(c("A", "1"), c("G", "2"), c("T", "6"), c("A", "1"), c("A", "1"), 
          c("A", "1"), c("A", "1"), c("A", "2"), c("A", "2"), c("A", "2"), 
          c("A", "2"), c("A", "3"), c("X", "3"), c("A", "4"), c("A", "4"), 
          c("A", "4"), c("A", "5"), c("A", "5"), c("A", "2"), c("A", "6"))

I want to creat two columns in a dataframe, one with the first elements ("A", "G", ...) and one with the second element (1, 2, ...).

The example list you provided is not nested

We rbind the list elements with do.call and then convert the matrix to data.frame

as.data.frame(do.call(rbind, A))

You can also unlist A.

as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(A), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
